Hi all,

As you may know Puppy Pride is run entirely by unpaid volunteers, who do their best to help the community.

Puppy Pride provides a free social network with events, blogs, profiles, images, and so on. We also sponsor events, loan out equipment, and purchase new equipment for events.

Unlike some social networks who charge money to access content or send unlimited messages, Puppy Pride has always been 100% free to use and we want to keep it that way.

Everything is currently paid by our volunteers and donations. All money from store sales goes back into the website, events and wider community.

However, Puppy Pride needs your help.

There's a lot that we want to do, including:

• Redesigning and improving the website
• Adding more functionality to the social network
• Sponsoring more events throughout the UK
• Organising pup groups in more Pride parades
• Promoting pet play in the wider LGBT+ and kink communities

All of these things cost money, and we can no longer afford to do it alone.

Therefore we are asking for your help and support to achieve our goals.

We know that not everyone can afford much, and we don't want anyone to cause themselves any problems by helping us out. But if you can afford to sponsor the website then it will be most appreciated by everyone here.

We also know that people like to get something for their money.

That's why we offer 3 monthly packages, so you can choose to donate £5, £10 or £25 a month.

The £5 package is a simple donation. You'll currently get a badge on your profile and no adverts on the website, although we're working on some digital freebies to send out in the future.

The £10 donation includes an A4 poster and collectible card, with exclusive artwork from James "SpacePupSilver" Newland.

The £25 donation includes the poster, card, several bags of sweets, a dog toy / accessory and a special gift exclusive to Puppy Pride. We will try to ensure that every box's value is more than £30, so you'll be getting a discount on its contents.

All Profits from your donation will go directly into maintaining and improving the social network, and sponsoring more events local to you.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you can afford to help us financially, you can learn more about our subscription packages here:

If not, you can still help out by continuing to spread the word about Puppy Pride so that more people join the social network and that our family can grow. And if possible, sharing this post amongst your friends and followers.
