Shiba Inu Puppy Cam - Fundraising Efforts

Fundraising Efforts

The owners created a calendar in 2009 showing the various pups from the first litter on each month. Shortly afterward they created a mousepad and a number of greeting cards which also featured images of the pups. Donations from the calendar are being sent to various Shiba Inu Rescue organizations around the United States, and the amount has so far (as of 2009) totaled over $6,000. For their 2010 calendar, the couple have included their other Shibas Yuuki (the eldest, a red female) and Haru (black and tan male) as well as pictures of the now adult Shiba Six, courtesy of their owners. Like the previous year's calendar, proceeds from the sale are being donated to Shiba Inu rescue organizations around the US.

From April to November 2009, regular viewers of the Puppy Cam (who call themselves Shibaholics) collectively donated $11,172 to Shiba Inu Rescue Resources of America in honor of the SFShiba family.

The Summer 2009 issue of the Shiba E-News had an article on the Puppy Cam and the fundraising efforts of its followers on behalf of the Shiba rescue organizations supported by SIRRA.

In November 2009, the American Kennel Club Gazette featured an article on the continued efforts of the puppy cam fans as significant contributors to SIRRA.

Shortly afterward, the Winter 2009 edition of Shiba World magazine featured an article on the Shibaholics, their donations to Shiba Rescue and their being ringside at the 2009 Nationals dog show in Clemmons, North Carolina.

As of 2012, the estimated total raised for numerous Shiba rescue organizations on behalf of the Shiba Inu Puppy Cam has been placed at approximately $20,000.
