Hi everyone, it’s Walter here! Wow the Christmas cards are already rolling in and we want to say thanks to everyone we have received one from. Did you know that the stamps that come with all those cards can help the Retired Greyhound Trust across the pond? Yes they can! So we are asking you to Save Those Stamps! and send them to us.
You may remember that last year another blogger collected stamps for a charity in United Kingdom. She is no longer blogging but I didn’t want all our stamps to go to waste so I decided to organize the effort this year. I was curious and did a Google search to see if any charities in the United States collected stamps but I couldn’t find any so I will be sending all the stamps I get across the pond.
I will be collecting stamps to send to the Retired Greyhound Trust (RGT) in the UK. Every kilogram (about 2.2 lbs.) of used stamps collected can be sold in aid of the RGT. Their target is £1,5000 ($2345 USD) which is the cost of kenneling a dog for a year.
If you are on Angel Jazzi’s mailing list then you should already have our home address if not then just leave me a comment asking for the mailing address and I will email it to you. Save up all your stamps and after Christmas just put them in an envelope and send them to us (make sure you have enough postage in case it weighs more than one ounce).
If it is easier for you to send your stamps directly to RGT their address is:
Retired Greyhound Trust
2nd Floor
Park House
1-4 Park Terrace
Worcester Park
SURREY
KT4 7JZ
UNITED KINGDOM
Lets shower those retired greyhounds with a ton of stamps…well okay a ton would be a bit too expensive to send but wouldn’t it be great if we had 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) to send them? Please feel free to grab the Save Those Stamps! icon above and promote it on your blog by linking back to this post.
Now before I leave you I have to show you how the Christmas Card Count is going so far this year.
Mom has our ribbons up next to the fireplace and the white board is already showing that we are kicking butt on the peeps.
So don’t forget to Save Those Stamps! and send them to us after the holidays are over. We can’t wait to see how big a pile we get.
Walter, I will collect the stamps like I did last year and I will send it to Worcester Park. Seems Millie and Walter are in advance at the card-challenge :o) btw: your scarf is beautiful, bet all girls will kiss the screen today :o)
What a great thing to do. We will be happy to send you stamps after the holidays, just send your address to us and Tui will be working on saving them for you. We have more cards than our people too. ~ATCAD
Mom is heading down to our recycle bin right now to cut stamps off the envelopes. Thank you for the reminder, WOOHOO MILLIE and WALTER! We 4 leggers are kicking 2 legger tush!
Hugs
Madi your bfff

What a great idea. We will save all our stamps to send them and do a blog post soon.

Oh yes, we did that last year and would be happy to help out again. So easy to do too:0
The cards are pouring in here too – for US:) We need to get Mom to help us get our e-card out to all our pals.
SomePup sure is looking very festive in that beautiful scarf.

What a pawsome way to give back…we will make sure that Mama saves our stamps (they haven’t gotten any cards either)!

That’s a big zilch THEY’VE got! Now, you have to be on your guard because they start claiming cards from businesses and stuff that they never even use.
Peeps get frantic in the card count.
We must make an effort to save ours then. Have a super Saturday.
Best wishes Molly
we collected stamps last year and sent them off but they got returned a unclaimed
Ww didn’t know about this but will be organising this at work to keep the stamps as well
Loves and licky kisses

Hey Millie and Walter!
Wow, this is such a super thing! Thanks bunches for collecting these for us and for such a wonderful trust. I’ll be sending all of mine as soon as Christmas is over and I’ll add this to the BCCalendar too.
Grr and Woof,

I have a feeling this month is going to go very fast. I don’t think I have fully registered it is the holiday! Walter is such a willing model.
Walter – You are looking so festive and handsome. No wonder you’re winning the card contest! I cannot believe that Christmas is so soon…
I don’t know why I get such a kick out the count every year but I do!
Sounds like a great idea. We’ll start pulling them off and saving them.
Merry Christmas……..Mona & Prissy

That is a wonderful thing you are doing. Abby the Lab and her Mom in Chicago http://www.thebookofbarkley.blogspot.com
What a great thing. I will try my best to keep up with them to help out! So good of you to do.
Oh we did not know that…we will save our stamps for you. stella rose
the stamps don’t peel off, so Is that all we have to do – cut the stamps off the envelopes? We don’t have to steam them off?
You only need to cut/rip them off the envelope. No steaming necessary. The less paper the better to keep the weight down. I just keep a zip lock handy and rip the stamps off when the cards come in. I clean them up later if necessary. Thanks for participating!
That is great that used stamps can help dogs 😀
Blogville is one world and wherever the stamps are sent if they can help some animals. Like the song “We’re The World” says send them your heart so they’ll know that someone cares. Thanks for not forgetting us while my Lee had a medical emergency and was in rehab so long.

hello 🙂 please send us your mailing address! Thank you for doing this!
Hi there Cindy! We are definitely IN this year and will be sending our stamps to you…I have just been cutting them off the envelopes and I will put them in a separate one to mail to you. Who knew that they were actually worth something? We are thrilled to be able to help kennel a greyhound! That’s awesome!! Hope your Christmas plans are coming right along and we wanted to stop and wish you a very Merry Christmas!! xo Jeanne, Chloe and LadyBug
We mailed our stamps to you today.
Thank you for doing this.
