Who's ready for the largest fundraising doggie Easter Egg Hunt in the city... state... country... continent... dare I say... world🤷♀️? Are you ready for your pup to hunt for eggs filled with natural dog treats and prizes (well, redeemable prize vouchers because most of your pet's favorite things won't fit in an egg,) while also raising money for pets that aren't as fortunate?
We are! Ok, well, we are in spirit- I mean, we still have some work to do getting thousands of eggs stuffed- but we are ready to get you signed up so that you don't miss out!!
If you really want to participate in the Egg Hunt, we HIGHLY recommend pre-registering. If we are able, we will take walk-ins, but there's certainly no guarantee we will be able to. If you pre-register, you will not only reserve your spot to hunt, but you will also get a commemorative tote bag pre-stuffed with goodies from our sponsors!! (Keep up with the blog to learn about all of our sponsors!)
So, how do you sign up? We are excited to be utilizing a fundraising platform called GiveButter. All on this site, you can sign up for the egg hunt, buy event t-shirts, purchase raffle tickets, and give cash donations. You can also enter to win an extra prize by getting your free General Admission "ticket." Tickets are not needed to enter Spring Fling, but letting us know you are coming, really helps us plan the best possible event for you! (We also love if you show us you are going on our FB event page here.)
Follow these steps to sign up for the Egg Hunt:
Check out our fundraising platform and read all the details: https://givebutter.com/UnleashedsSpringFling2025
Click on the button on the top right that says, "Donate & Register."
Purchase as many "tickets" as you like. Each egg hunt ticket is labeled with an egg hunt starting time frame. This is the interval of time you would need to arrive at the egg hunt, but you can search as long as you like once you start. Choose an available starting time period and select that ticket.
Decide how many eggs you would like to hunt for and purchase 1 ticket for every 10 eggs. Each $25 ticket is good for collecting 10 eggs. You may purchase as many available tickets as you would like. 1 ticket = 10 eggs, 2 tickets = 20 eggs, More Tickets = More eggs = More prizes.
Consider adding raffle tickets (each $5 raffle ticket bundle gets you 5 raffle entries towards the Grand Prize Basket,) and t-shirts (pre-purchase your 2025 Commemorative Spring Fling t-shirt!)
Click continue to finalize. You will enter your info and be given an opportunity to add an extra donation if you like. Please print or save the ticket info to your phone to make check-in at the event go smoother (we won't require you to have it, but it can help the process.)
Where does the money go?
We hold every penny we collect from you until the event is over, and the grand total can be finalized. Once we have an event fundraising total (eggs+shirts+cash+raffles+other,) we evenly divide the total by the number of rescue groups/non-profit animal organizations that join us at Spring Fling and send them each a check (participating rescues will be posted to the blog, FB event page, and Instagram Highlights.) The rescues love getting the cash to spend however they most need it. We keep nothing. Separately from the donation that comes to us, GiveButter will ask you for the processing fees and an optional tip to keep their services free to us.
FAQ's
Does my pet have to do the Egg Hunt?
No, if you would like to do the Egg Hunt for your pet, that is OK. We understand that the Egg Hunt is not feasible for every pet.
Is the Egg Hunt just for dogs?
No. We have had a few other types of pets participate in the past. Also, we have lots of cat prizes, so whether you, your dog, or your other pets do the hunt, you can take home prizes for your feline family too!
Can I do the Egg Hunt more than one time and/or with more than one pet?
Yes, and yes! Every dollar goes to the rescues, so the more the merrier!
My pet has sensitivities/allergies/special dietary restrictions, will the prizes be appropriate?
We work hard to make the prizes that you win meet the needs of your pet! We have lots of great options to meet most needs. We will do our best. If we can't make it work, you are welcome to add your prize to the donation drive, and a rescue group will receive it.
How does the magic happen?
We are so grateful to all of our sponsors that help cover the costs so every single penny we collect from you can go straight to the rescue groups! Please thank and support our sponsors:
Unleashed employees for all their hard work getting prizes, stuffing eggs, stuffing totes, and so much more.
Our Egg Hunt and Entertainment sponsors: Open Farm, Nature's Logic and VICTOR, for providing the funds to make the event happen and keeping you entertained.
Our Tote Bag sponsors, who cover the cost of the tote bags, the goodies inside, and lots of egg prizes (in alphabetical order): look for their logos on the bag!
All of our wonderful partners who send prizes for the eggs and the raffles!
