Travel Expenses

Now that the fundraising for 4 Paws is so close to ending, we need to start raising funds for our travel expenses. We've estimated that we will need approximately $5000 for travel expenses related to training in December (we are assuming we are in the December class because we have not been told otherwise, but have not gotten final confirmation yet.) The funds will cover our flights (our flight to Ohio will most likely fall on Thanksgiving weekend which makes it a little more expensive and more difficult to book), hotel stay, food, training supplies (leads, vests, treats, etc), and rental car for the 13 days and 12 nights we'll be in Ohio.

Just to make it clear:

Donations made for travel expenses do NOT go to 4 Paws, and because we are individuals receiving the donation it is not tax deductible. This phase of fundraising is seperate from our funds for 4 Paws and money sent to 4 Paws in excess of our $13,000 goal cannot be forwarded on to us.

So any money donated for traveling expenses needs another place to go. I will be setting up a savings account for this purpose, and I will post the information here when I have done so. I have also set up a paypal account for travel expenses. Not only can we receive transfers from other paypal accounts, but we can pay for some of our reservations that way also.

The email address for Dallon's paypal account is dallon4paws@yahoo.com .

I will post here about our progress toward our travel expense goal.

Any money that we raise which is not needed for our travel expenses will be donated for 4 Paws.
