Sniffspot now enables you to support rescues!

As of today, Sniffspot is enabling our hosts to donate all or a portion of their earnings to the rescue of their choice!

Over the past few years, rescues in the United States have saved millions of dogs from being euthanized1. They do this by building networks for bringing dogs from “high kill” shelters to safe temporary and permanent homes (often through a foster network). The rescues that I have seen are running on tight budgets, normally driven by the passion and energy of a single person or a small group of people.  This is hard work! Transporting and sheltering dogs has myriad headaches, issues and unexpected costs.

Sniffspot has been partnering with rescues since we first started, from our Dog Gone Seattle support event in April to providing safe spaces for rescues, adoptees and fosters to take their pups. Many of our hosts are also affiliated with rescues. Recently, the host of Fully Fenced Carnation Country Yard, Bruce, brought up an amazing idea for a further way Sniffspot can partner with rescues. Based on Bruce’s suggestion, as of today, we have enabled Sniffspot hosts to donate all or a portion of their earnings to the rescue of their choice!

How you can get involved:

• HOSTS: log into your account and go to your listing edit page. You will see two fields: 1) do you want to donate a portion of your earnings to a rescue and which rescue, and 2) what portion of your earnings. Each month we will calculate the total amount that you are donating to your rescue and send the money to them directly in your name. We will also include this in your monthly report. Note: for quality control, we currently only enable donations to rescues that are known to be reputable, based on this list. If you do not see a rescue you support on this list, please email me.
• PROSPECTIVE HOSTS: you can check us out here.
• GUESTS: just by visiting sniff spots you are supporting rescues. Also, you can help to spread the word to potential hosts in your area that would be interested in supporting rescues through hosting with Sniffspot.
• RESCUES: partner with us to make Sniffspot part of your fundraising strategy. By building a base of your supporters that are Sniffspot hosts you can support your rescue operations financially and through a stronger connection with your supporters! Email me at david@sniffspot.com with any questions.
  

We want to continue to build our partnerships with rescues. I rely on our community to source a lot of the ideas that we implement, so please leave a comment or send me an email at david@sniffspot.com with any ideas or feedback you may have. I look forward to continuing to make an impact in this community!
