Postage
Stamps. Make your companion animal a Tails of
Hope mascot by donating stamps with your animal’s
picture on them. Visit the web site of the United
States Postal Service by clicking
here for a list of their licensed stamp vendors.
You can submit your favorite picture of your
companion animal, purchase whatever amount of stamps
you wish, and then send the stamps to us at the
address listed on the “Contact Us” page of
this web site. Tails of Hope will use the stamps to
send out letters, thank you notes and other
correspondence, and your companion animal will
instantly be a Tails of Hope mascot. A great and fun
project for kids and for anyone else who wants their
companion animal to be famous!
- Birthday Parties and Other Special Events. If your child has an upcoming birthday party or other special event, and a companion animal has been an important part of their lives, consider having your child ask for donations to be made to Tails of Hope as part of his or her celebration. One of Tails of Hope’s first supporters was a little boy named Gabriel, whose dog Columbus had cancer. Gabe decided that for his 5th birthday, he wanted his friends and family to donate money to Tails of Hope to help “sick doggies” instead of giving him birthday presents. Gabe raised an incredible $296 for our organization, and, according to his mom, it was one of the best things they ever did with Gabe. For more information on Gabe’s story, please see the “Featured Stories” page of this web site
- Our “Blanketed With Love™” Campaign. Tails of Hope is collecting blankets to be used at veterinary hospitals to keep companion animals warm after they have received treatment for cancer or other life-threatening illnesses, and to be used by owners to keep their companion animals warm while transporting them home after such treatment. Please contact us if you would like to become involved in this great project or have blankets that might be appropriate for donation.
Tails of Hope is continually looking for special ways in
which you and your family can get involved in helping
companion animals live longer, healthier lives. Below are
some ideas which we hope you will consider. These projects
may be especially fun and meaningful to do with your child
or children.
