Made In The Shade 2012
Our annual Made In The Shade event will be held on Saturday, July 14th from 10:00am - 2:00pm. We are in need of volunteers to help deliver cooling supplies, dog toys, etc., to as many "outside" dogs as possible.
We're in critical need of the following supplies:
- Plastic Pools for the Doggies
- Water Buckets
- Dog Treats
- Durable Dog Toys
- Tarps
- Bungee Cords
You can also donate a gift card to Petsmart, Lowes, Home Depot, Petco, or any store selling the pools. If you are unsure of how to go about donating a gift card, contact us and we'll guide you through it.
For the first time, we're offering the ability to donate by credit card to Made In The Shade through the secure WE PAY system. WE PAY is far more friendly to grass-roots organizations like MTPRC than the other popular donation system, and we hope you will find it a convenient way to help us in our endeavors. Click the donate button to help fund the Made In The Shade campaign! (Note that donations are NOT tax deductible.)

MTPRC.org is in no way affiliated with this group and never has been.
