Donations and Sales

CHECKS:  If people want to donate by check have them make the check payable to Dogs for Better Lives.

CREDIT CARDS:  At events like these, we cannot take credit cards, but people can always make donations or purchases with credit cards either over the phone or by visiting our website.

PURCHASES:  There is seldom any need for you to purchase anything for or at these events.  Purchases should only be done in an emergency or with preauthorization from a Dogs for Better Lives manager.  In case you do need to purchase something or if you are going to a special event where we have agreed to pay any of your expenses, then you need to make sure you get receipts to turn in for reimbursement.  Each receipt must indicate your name and the event.
