Due to a contract we have with Hill's Science Diet that gives us our food for free as long as we pay shipping (which gets pricey... ouch!), we cannot use any other food for our animals. It's actually the best for them and their bellies too so they aren't always switching brands. We are very lucky to be a part of that program:) Thanks for the suggestion.

I think a combination SHELTER fundraiser / Letterboxing event is a good idea.

I wouldn't necessarily make people PAY for clues .... or charge a COVER CHARGE per say .....
but there are other ways to make money for the rescue ..... combining it with letterboxing fun.
Perhaps you could ask people to carve FURRY FRIEND stamps ..... or send leftover stamps from Postals, LTC's, whatever ...... .. put letterboxes together and raffle them off, for people to take home to plant. Put them in gift bags labeled "Basset Hound Dog", "German Shepherd Dog", "White Angora cat", "PLUTO" "GARFIEND" , etc .
They could each include a Letterboxing tutorial ...... in case a MUGGLE ends up with it. It would be a nice way to introduce people to letterboxing and raise money at the same time, without being PUSHY about EITHER.

You could have a few table top boxes too, with clever dog or cat containers.
