Thoma Video & Pin Sample
about 2 years ago – Wed, Mar 23, 2022 at 01:11:48 AM

We put together a short video to show Thoma's progress in the last few weeks. Some people have asked to see how he's doing, and we're very happy you asked! Honestly since he's an old dog, we expected the recovery to be much slower or for him to be more lethargic, but he's a fierce fighter!! >:O

And a quick photo from our pin manufacturer! 

BackerKit surveys are coming!

Thank you!

We're absolutely floored by the amount of support this campaign has gotten! We're going to be posting a short video soon of Thoma's progress soon since a lot of people have asked, as well as the cost breakdown because we want to be transparent with how all the financing is being used! 

After we do the calculations, we'll be able to donate a percent of the proceeds to the dog rescue organization we selected. ^^ We were only expecting to cover a small amount of the surgery costs with this campaign, but unexpectedly we'll be able to pay for most of it with this Kickstarter! Once again, we couldn't have done this without you TT TT Looking forward to creating all the pins and sending them out to you guys soon!

NEW Tiny Daggy Pins
about 2 years ago – Fri, Mar 18, 2022 at 01:57:44 PM

You guys asked for more options, so we've added 3 new mini filler pins to the add-ons section of the Kickstarter! You can update your pledge anytime before or after the campaign is over. Specific selections will be made after the Kickstarter via survey! Choose between Sammy, Begle, and Hasky :3 

*Note: Because every pin added will charge you shipping, we made it $0 for the add-on. If you add these to the sticker-only tier, we'll be charging you shipping after the campaign is over! ($2 extra for USA, $9 extra for INTL).

New Bonus Item

Free Photo Card with Every Package!

We originally tried to commission artist @Wooqiart for this piece, but she was kind enough to gift it to us instead ;_; Wooqi even helped donate to our fund!! Thank you so much for being a wonderful human and for giving to animal shelters in need!! We're super happy to be offering her gorgeous and charming artwork on this postcard with every pledge that includes a sticker sheet or pin package <3 (Check out her socials for more of her work)

24 Hour Update

4000$+ Raised!

I know we've said this multiple times in the past week, but thank you all so much for your love and support for our family! We would have so much difficulty paying for this old doggo's vet bills if it weren't for the selfless donations of you and your pledges for the pin/stickers TT TT It's really touching, and our first time experiencing so much financial help from outside. 

Doggy Update

It's been a couple of days since he got back from the hospital where he wouldn't eat anything even with appetite stimulant medication. Now he's back to eating like a king again (aka boiled chicken and his prescribed food LOL). He's doing well on short 10-15 minute walks and has enough energy to either escape from or break down his fortress every once in a while D:  

We weren't expecting these high amounts of pledges in such a short time!! Although we have to deduct the manufacturing and shipping costs, we have decided to donate 10% of the profits to jindoloverescue.org, a rescue organization that targets dogs from South Korea (the homeland of the jindo breed). Their mission is to "save dogs from terrible conditions in South Korea’s dog meat trade, puppy mills, as well as abandoned dogs" and find them new homes in the United States, which strongly aligns with our beliefs.

Lastly, we're  hoping to add at least another reward and/or bonus freebie photo card with every tier that includes items, so please stay tuned!
