TLDR's First Ever Facebook Auction!

[Girlytrude]

Thursday 4th April is World Stray Day, so what better day to start our first ever Facebook Auction.

Every penny raised goes to help the dogs in the care of TLDR, dogs who have found themselves in need of a new home through no fault of their own. They come to us from council pounds, private homes and occasionally other rescues.

As well as neutering/spaying, vaccinating and microchipping, many need dental work, blood tests, sometimes more invasive surgery such as mammary tumour removal or corrective surgery. Occasionally a little one comes along that has multiple or tricky to manage medical needs, and becomes one of our Lifetime Foster Dogs, with ongoing care needs met by the rescue.

EVERY penny raised goes to the needs of the dogs in our care. So please come along and support this event with your bids, sharing and encouragement.

You will find the Auction page here:

www.facebook.com/groups/TheLittleDogRescueAuctions/?notif_t=group_r2j

Bidding starts from 00.01 on Thursday 4th, and ends at 10pm on Wednesday 24th April.

Come and join us, support us with your bids and sharing the event ;D

How very exciting!

Thank you to Debs and Jo for all your hard work on this x

[Girlytrude]

Absoflippinlutely!

The girls have been amazing. They had no previous experience of setting up a Facebook auction, and (I'm sure they won't mind me saying this), not a massive amount of Facebook experience at all.

They have worked VERY late at night for over a week now, planning, discussing, uploading, deleting, amending, re-uploading, swearing...errr...cheering when it worked...

I know it's caused them both immense stress, knocks in confidence at times, and a real worry that they needed to 'get it right'.

Having been privvy to those discussions and their incredible hard work (and a punchbag shoulder when needed ), can I say I am so proud of them and their efforts, which have shown me just what an amazing team we are working alongside. We've had some real giggles over some of the problems they came up against, there's even been a few tears...but I hope they realise how flipping awesome they are.

Nice one girls! ;D XX

What do you mean no facebook experience pfftttttt

I removed all the swear words from the auction page lol and I sat and typed FCUK very very carefully on the listing for the smellies ;D

Thanks for the lovely words the both of you, it is lovely to wake up and see more bids coming in, just don't look at the book Sam or Clare

Congratulations you girls for an amazing Auction and for all the hard work you've put in.

Thank you so much on behalf of all the little dogs you've helped.

Hi all

I cannot locate the auction and am also having probs with getting into facebook even thou we are registered on facebook
Can anyone advise or help me out

Thankyou

[Girlytrude]

I'm not sure I can help with getting you logged into Facebook if it's your account that's a problem, but if you want to give me a call on 07541 784500 while you're sat in front of your computer I'm happy to try. It's always easier when someone can explain immediately what they're seeing XX

Hi Clare

Thankyou for trying to help me re facobook

I can get into our and TLDR facebook page but I cannot see where to go for the auction page (trust me )

Sorry to be a pain only we don't use facebook that much so it is not as straightforward to me as some

Hi there, you should find another LDR page a bit futher down the list on left hand side of your wall, that had me confused as well.

Hope this helps

HELP....
I have managed to get onto the auction page but can only see the items that have a bid on them. Is there a list somewhere of ALL the auction items please.Sorry to be a pain but everyone knows I'm a bit of a thicko when it comes to anything technical. Thanks x

[lynne]

The auction looks fab,well done everyone involved - hard to believe this is the first one.
Cliffsgirl go to the album in photos and it shows all the items then just click on whichever one you want to bid on,you can scroll through them all by using either the side arrows or next/back command - will vary.Here's the link - it is a different way of doing an auction than on forums so takes a bit of getting used to.Have fun

Hi folks

Sorry to say I have tried all of the recommendations in trying to find the auction page for LDR to no avail
When I click on photo/album all it shows is dog pics no auction bits
So I am "throwing in the towel" as they say
I was looking forward to looking at the items but never mind
Thankyou all for your help...Clare thanks, but as I don't use our facebook page to that extent.....

If there are quite a lot of us forum buddies that are not facebook familiar maybe you could list the auction items not necessarily show photos?

Thanks again and Good Luck with the auction

[lynne]
