This Valentine's Day, scorned lovers have a unique way to seek their petty vengeance and simultaneously support animal shelters. Rebel Dogs Detroit is offering a chance to sponsor a dog poop bag with your ex's name scrawled across it for $10. "We can throw out that bad memory for you," the rescue said in a statement. They also provide a photo of the named bag as proof of the deed.
Meanwhile, in Ohio, an animal shelter is drawing in donations for their twist on the Valentine’s Day fundraiser. The Animal Friends Humane Society announced via Facebook post that they would write an ex-partner’s name inside a cat litter box, or on a sign for dogs, for a mere $5. Their promotional videos will feature all the disgruntled donors' exes names on Valentine's Day. This Ohio shelter has kept donation doors open until February 13th.
Not to be outdone, the Humane Society of Hobart, Indiana, is adding to the therapeutic relief menu of spiteful activities. Their partnership with Region Scoopers Dog Waste Removal offers a poop-gram service. "Sometimes love just stinks… but we have just the thing!" they said. For $5, your ex's name will adorn a dog poop bag, with a photo sent as a receipt. The last day for orders of this bowel-based backlash was February 13.
All these fundraisers highlight a blend of catharsis for the heartbroken and support for shelter animals in need of care. While some may roll their eyes at the pettiness, there's no denying the clever incentive for donations it creates. The culmination of these fundraisers across Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, each with their regional twist, tips the balance perhaps to show us that while love can indeed leave us bitter, there’s always a way to turn that agony into support for the furry companions who offer us unconditional love, without judgment, regardless of our relationship status.
