What about a raffle, Jen? Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue is a huge organization, but that is one way that they raise funds, annually. In fact, I bought raffle tickets, one year, from way down here in SC, and I won! That was when they did cash prizes and we won $3000. I know that your group operates on a much smaller scale, but if you could get donated prizes from area businesses, like televisions, DVD players, etc, you might generate some interest in selling raffle tickets, and maybe even you could find a local printer who would donate the tickets.

Good luck!
