Dog Cards for Donation

by wimomSep 22, 2025
I have been making dog-theme cards for donation to my local animal shelter. This batch of 28 will be set out for sale at a "canine carnival" where the shelter will have a display and I think some adoptable dogs. Not sure how much table space they will have to display cards so I set them up in this plastic bin with a little sign tucked in the back. I had a custom stamp made to honor my granddog, Teddy, and added that image to the sign. The cards are donated in his memory. The stamp doesn't give a totally crisp image, buy I am happy with it considering it was only about $10, including shipping. Was surprised to find it actually was made in a town about 20 minutes from me!

I love this idea! I volunteer with a local rescue. I might give this a try! Did you have much success with sales? From the cards I can see...they are adorable! Love the stamp too. Great idea!

No, they didn't sell well. I tried again with some Christmas dog-theme cards at the shelter's holiday bazaar, and sales still were not great. So for now I am sticking to making dog-theme thank you cards for donation to the shelter. The shelter uses a lot of those to thank volunteers and donors.

Thanks so much Brandy. I ordered the stamp thinking I would stamp on the back of cards I donate, but it is maybe too big? Not sure on that. The shelter also has a holiday craft sale in November and I plan to donate some holiday cards to that, too. It makes me feel good to use Teddy's supplies to hopefully help other dogs, even a little bit.
