Sad Doge Fund

Created by Hideaway Melon

An emergency pin and sticker campaign to help fund our pet Jindo's GDV surgery.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

All Pins Fulfilled!
over 1 year ago – Tue, Aug 09, 2022 at 02:06:59 PM

100% Fulfilment!

Our manufacturer was able to send us the replacement pins for all the B grade pins we found for Sad Doge! We were able to process all the remaining orders today so everyone should have their pins in the upcoming days for USA, a few weeks for international :) If you have issues receiving your pins or with your tracking number, please feel free to contact us!


Because of this update, we were also able to calculate the net amount from this campaign, which we wanted to be transparent with in case you were curious what the breakdown usually is with pin campaigns! 

These are the resulting numbers (pre-taxes):


The campaign has covered an awesome 62% of Thoma's entire surgery cost! As promised, we've taken 10% of these profits (plus some extra) and donated them to our charity of choice, jindoloverescue.com, specifically using the donation for medical costs for rescues. 

We couldn't have done it without you guys! Thank you for being amazing people with love in your hearts for good doggies all over! We'll continue posting more Thoma content on our social medias in the future now that he's a fully recovered strong old man. :-D

B Grade Sad Doges and Fulfillment
almost 2 years ago – Sat, Jun 11, 2022 at 09:33:26 PM

We were grading the Sad Doge pins and unfortunately we're missing enough of A Grade pins to fulfill the current pledges :( If you received a tracking number and it doesn't work within 48 hours, it's because we had to refund it since we ran out of pins. We contacted our manufacturer for an immediate reship but they won't arrive for at least a month. Very sorry about this, but we want to make sure the pins you receive are up to standard! Thank you for understand! TT TT

Pins are here!

Thank you guys for all your patience with the pin manufacturing! All the pins are finally here and ready to ship ^^ Unfortunately, we're also heading to some back-to-back conventions this month, so while we will prepare for them, it will be slow going. Here's some photos of the finished product!

The doggy pats videos are currently being edited as well by our wonderful helper who's manually adding every single name to the video T oT  <3 Just wanted to let you guys know it's still in production!

Post-campaign Preorder Store
about 2 years ago – Sun, Mar 27, 2022 at 07:11:43 AM

If you missed the campaign..

The preorder store is now open here! https://sad-doge-fund.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders/409911

The only difference between preordering and backing the Kickstarter is that you won't receive the extra bonuses when you get a Sad Doge Pin for free, but they're available as add-ons! They will all be shipped at the same time when the pins are received.


All surveys should have been sent out! We ran into an issue where we couldn't remove the shipping for add-ons, so if you paid for shipping during the Kickstarter and again when you order add-ons, we WILL be batch running refunds! Sorry for the inconvenience :(
