Start your own Yummy for Dogs program.
It's simple and requires only an investment in ingredients and time.

1. Find a location. Look for dog friendly restaurants, fancy companion animal supply stores (ones that choose not to sell dogs and cats of course!)

2. Talk to the owner/manager. Explain what you'd like to do and that all of the money goes to animal causes. Explain how you will display the biscuits and collect the money. At the Third Place, we have a very simple way of handling this. The biscuits are displayed in a large glass "fish bowl" embellished with a sign that has the price of the biscuits (25 cents each, currently), Yummy for Dogs' name, and the words, "More than 100% of the Profit Goes to Local Animal Rescues" printed on it. Beside the bowl is a decorated coffee can with a slit in the lid for money to be deposited. The whole setup is pretty self explanatory, and while the till has been stolen once or twice (How low do you have to be to steal from pound dogs? I don't know, but that's got to be some horrifically bad karma.) it typically does fine as long as it is placed in view of the register.

3. Keep the jar full and collect the money. I usually place all the money collected in an envelope until it reaches about $100. At that point I either give it directly to one of my favorite shelters or rescue groups or take the money and buy supplies to donate, like (toys), collars, beds, etc.

4. If you have the time and inclination, let shelters and rescues know that you are available to make biscuits to sell at their fund raisers and events. I've sold Yummy for Dogs' biscuits at dog washes, bake sales, and tattoo clinics. Typically, either they'll want you to bring a card table to set up on or they will have one for you. In any case, bring a sign (I usually make a simple one out of poster board) to let people know what you are selling. I have found that for events like this, the biscuits sell better if they are bagged in dozens. Typically, I sell them for $4 a dozen at events like this, but you can decide what you think is fair.

5. I like to keep a ledger of how much is collected and donated because, hey, we all need to pat ourselves on the back sometimes. Yes, a Yummy for Dogs program is work, but it's fun work, and work that brings happiness to countless dogs. Let me know if you plan to start a program. I'd love to hear about the dogs you help, and the dogs who enjoy your delicious homemade treats!
