Bambi92 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hi all I'm looking at putting a basket full of goodies for a rescue group for Arctics. They request flea treatments, collars, leads, toys ect What would be good to put in? I was thinking about a heap of tennis balls, a few kongs (depending on price of them), collars but not sure what size to get, leads and if I've got enough a box or two of flea stuff I know it's not much but it will help them in some way. What others toys would be for them? What size and type of collar would be good keeping in mind they have huskies, mals, Akitas and mix breeds.? Im not very good at putting things together I'm not very creative. Thanks in advance for any ideas I know some people here are involved in rescues would be great to hear from you and what sort of stuff is worth giving to them if anyone knows who is involved in rescues could you please tag them be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osinn11 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 What a wonderful thing to do. We have an awesome rescue here in Utah that does amazing things for arctic breeds. I think anything you are willing to donate will be very much appreciated by the rescue and loved by the pups! I think most just get the basics needed to stay healthy while looking for thier forever home. Any type of treat or toy you donate will be a nice surprise for these dogs.

I have a list of 6toys and a 1kg of chicken jerky treats so far now just need a few leads and collars and maybe something for the hoomans as well would flowers and a box of chocolates or a cake be a good idea?

mydiamond Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Laura you're an angel I'm following this Balinese rescue group on Facebook this is usually what they need: 1) Toys : anything BUT stuffed animals or any other toys with soft materials. I think we know why 2) Collars: they always say "medium sized" but that's not very helpful is it I'd say grab an adjustable collar for large breeds 3) Humans' gifts: flowers, chocolates and cakes are WONDERFUL gifts especially if you put a little card there that says.. idk maybe "thanks for doing what you're doing" or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of they would be ok I might ask then which collars they prefer and what size saves getting ones they can't use lol Sent from my GT-I8530 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 half-checks are amazing just because it has a bit of a bling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Chances are there are likely to be some which need training so maybe clickers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Nyla toys are good strong chew toys too, huskies can't get through them too quickly but they aren't cheap either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
