Re-Inventing Pet Rescue Fund Raising for the 21st Century

Gone are the days when pet rescues could depend on the graciousness of consumers for adequate funding. With a declining economy and shrinking dollar, average citizens are far less inclined to part with the money they've worked so hard for. To make matters worse, the business community's donations have also greatly diminished. The result of so much less money for pet rescues means the number of healthy pets being euthanized as a form of populations control is soaring.

What does the trend of declining donations mean for the pet rescue community? Will donations ever return to their previous levels or, will rescuers be forced to search for new sources of funding?

It is the belief of many professionals that fundraiser models of the 20th Century must be replaced by new income generating concepts if rescues are to succeed. One such believer is Phoenix based "Vinny the Pug Enterprises" who is taking the lead in pioneering new models for pet rescuers to raise as much money as they need. It is their belief that successful fundraiser models of the 21st Century will have little semblance to those of just a few years ago in how fundraising is conducted.

VTPE has launched TEAM VINNY; a totally new fundraising concept that enables pet rescues to shed their hat-in-hand approach for more proactive strategies to raise large sums of money. Utilizing the power of group participation, members are able to acquire popular consumer goods from Team Vinny's parent company for fundraisers. Members are free to sell their products at prices they set to earn profits of between 25% and 50%. Additionally, VTPE help team members conduct "Quick Cash" fundraising campaigns that are great for responding to unexpected emergencies and medical situations requiring money quickly.

TEAM VINNY is conducting a new membership drive for pet rescues who are in dire need of fundraising assistance. Team members receive access to a full line of popular Vinny the Pug consumer goods for fundraisers at greatly reduced costs. Members are provided ongoing training and assistance to help them continue migrating to 21st Century fundraising models.

TEAM VINNY current membership objective is to recruit 100 new members with this drive ending August 1st. For more information, contact Allen at:
