In most community's, shelter pets are neglected by local families looking for a companion. They often have a bad reputation from their past, and people overlook their potential as loving pets. However, shelter pets are the best pets. Once the animal knows they are in a safe environment, they become more loving and loyal then ever!
OUR JOURNEY As a group, we sold around 50 shirts total. We each sold shirts to our family and friends. Our group had a designated money carrier, so all of the money is in one place. Our shirts were in such a high demand after the first round of orders, we had to do another round! We've raised a total of around $325 after the second round of orders. We charged $7-$8 depending on the color choices. Our next step is donating all of the money to the animal shelter!
OUR PROCESS
We started the process of making shirts by taking orders to decide what colors we needed. We sold around 40 shirts with just the first order. We bought supplies and I tie-dyed each shirt at my house, which takes roughly 2 days to do. I then delivered the shirts to Avery where she put on the logos. After the person paid for their shirt, we delivered it to them with a tag explaining our cause. After a busy two months of making and distributing shirts, we are finally done and happy with out product.
We Donated!!
After a long and hard process, we finally made our way to the shelter and donated the money. Before donating, we met the animals we would be helping. Each of us bonded with animals, and wished we could take them home. We felt very rewarded and happy we could do this for the shelter. We are beyond excited we had this opportunity!
