Hi this is a reply to "very disappointed" about the Giving Tree...... I do not post often, but this caught my eye..... There is no excuse for someone NOT to acknowledge a gift from someone in anyway. I am very busy and still managed to send a Thank you from the kids and our rescue to their Santa's. I found time....This is everywhere tho....Kids {human} are not even taught to send thank you's for gifts received. If they are in went in one ear and out the other.....LOL.... I was raised that you send thank you's...My father, first thing out of his mouth, do you have a thank you card, if not I will buy them for you....but make sure you send them.....This is what living at my house was like. I have since continued this tradition and hope I have sunk it into my kids brain as well. Not all of us {shelter directors} are like that, please do not judge us all for a few thoughtless people...We need the wonderful donations. Now on another note that follows along with this about thoughtless people.......People who take a furkid from the tree to be their Secret Santa and then do not send a gift. If you end up not being able to, contact the Giving Tree and let them know that you are not able to send a gift.....this way the furkid can be put back on as available and needing a Santa....Things happen for reasons unknown, please, just contact the person and let them know.....So see, it happens on both ends.........Just thought I would throw my two cents in there....
