The Rainbow Collection
Raising funds for dogs in need!
The Rainbow Collection was born off the back of the NHS Rainbow image created during the first lockdown. We saw a need to support dog homes during the period as they were unable to raise funds to care for their animals through the usual methods and we wanted to help where we could. We created this Rainbow design and set out to donate 50% of profits from any sale of the Rainbow Collar to a dog charity raising over £1500 for Mrs Murrays Dog & Cat Home.
Since this point we have expanding the program and collection, adding new products such as leads and harnesses and also upping our donation to 100% of profits from the sale of any product in our Rainbow Collection. We are partnered with the incredible Edinburgh Dog & Cat Home and so far we have raised over £1000!
The Rainbow collection is a program that is very dear to our hearts as not only is it a program we launched in out first year of business but after visiting these dog homes, meeting the amazing dogs and hearing their often heart breaking stories we are keen to do even more to help them be cared for in the best possible way!
What do these funds do?
There are many ways in which the money we raise can go to help these animals be cared for. Here are some figures from the home that put their challenge into perspective:
- Food a day for a day = 80p
- 1 hour of training = £11
- Entry vaccinations per dog = £16.56
- Refuel foodbank van = £50
- Heat the kennels = £900 a month
- Annual Running Cost = £2,000,000
Edinburgh Dog & Cat Home
Edinburgh Dog & Cat Home are our local dog home (now being in Edinburgh, previously in Deeside). We visited the home, meeting some of the staff and some of their beautiful residents and fell in love, a heartwarming clip of our visit can be found here.We’re delighted to be partnering with such a great charity to kick off our new launch of the Rainbow Collection and we can’t wait to see how much we can raise for them.
Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home has been part of the fabric of our city since 1883, working in partnership with the Council and Police services by welcoming lost or abandoned pets from all corners of Edinburgh and the Lothians. We were founded by citizens whose love of animals motivated them to take action to alleviate the plight of strays roaming the streets of the city at that time. From opening our doors in 1884 at Comely Bank Gardens, to the present day at Seafield Road East, the Home has continued to expand and help thousands of dogs and cats in need.
Our Vision is to create a community where unwanted and mistreated animals are given a voice and a second chance for a happy and forever home; and where anybody who can, will act to advocate for animals still suffering.
