Site Update
Today has been declared Help-a-Pet Day!
Brought to you by Chianya (#12264) and the power of a Slashbot.
This time of year can be especially rough for animals, particularly in areas experiencing harsh winter climates.
Many animals find themselves as unwanted pets from the holidays, are strays seeking warmth and food, or are in a shelter overrun with other pets looking for a forever home. Therefore, Chianya is bringing a week-long event to Aywas in order to help spotlight the cause and support animals in need!
Donation Drive
Aywas is sponsoring a donation drive to help the efforts of organizations that rescue and care for any and all animals. As a thank you for your generosity to an animal-focused shelter/charity of your choice, we have set up the following tiers according to Chianya's specifications:
$5* - White Socked Cat Melo
$10 - Maine Coon Inari
PLUS:
- White Socked Cat Melo
$25 - Deer Velox
PLUS:
- Maine Coon Inari
- White Socked Cat Melo
$40 - Purring Lunaris
PLUS:
- Deer Velox
- Maine Coon Inari
- White Socked Cat Melo
$50+ - Pawprint Dog Bed
PLUS:
- Purring Lunaris
- Deer Velox
- Maine Coon Inari
- White Socked Cat Melo
The Pawprint Dog Bed is a custom creator that will enable you to upload your very own Shelter Dog silver pet with up to 30% edits. Click the image to download the PSD.
As this pet is a donation reward, these lines cannot be created with SCCs, Silver Potions, etc.
* Donation tiers are listed in USD amounts, but you may donate in another currency as long as it is at least the USD equivalent amount.
How to Donate
1. Choose a shelter or animal charity of your choice. Any organization that helps, cares for, or rescues animals from cats and dogs to exotic pets and even wildlife is acceptable. We are very flexible on this!
2. Check to see if the organization has a minimum donation amount.
3. Donate the amount of your choice.
4. Send a receipt or proof of donation to me at [email protected]. Please include your ID number and ensure I can see the amount and organization, but feel free to block out any personal details. A screenshot of your webpage receipt or forwarding me the receipt the shelter/charity e-mails you would suffice!
5. Receive your rewards! :3
If you currently volunteer at a shelter/animal charity:
Aywas would like to extend our gratitude to you by offering you the full set of rewards above.
Simply email me at [email protected] with some sort of proof of your volunteer status and I'll get you taken care of! c: Please be sure to include your ID.
BP Shop Support
If you are not in a position to donate but still want to show your support for the cause, we have filled the BP Shop with animal-related goodies!
You will find 11 pets to collect (including the Kodama and the three pets above), along with some HA wearables.
Each box of the six above contains one corresponding shirt that says "I <3 Dogs," "I <3 Cats," "I <3 Animals," etc. and each is a different color and style. You can see how all of them look through the Preview Wardrobe option!
We also have four "wearable" accessories that fit in the bottom right corner of your HA box to add some scenery! You can also check these out with the Preview Wardrobe option.
The drive will be running until January 25th at 11:59 p.m., so all donations need to be made by this time, as well as all goodies snagged from the shop!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact myself or Chianya (#12264).
We would also love to hear about your shelter/animal charity experiences, and if you have a suggestion for one to support, you are welcome to share it in the comments below.
As a site full of animal lovers, Aywas is very excited to be able to host a drive like this. <3
Thank you for your support!
