The Story:
Foothill Dog Rescue is a small nonprofit organization in Shingle Springs California (El Dorado County) who rescue dogs from shelters, foster them, and find loving forever homes for them.
Foothill Dog Rescue is partnered with Folsom State Prison's New Paws On The Block program. A small program that consists of 9 incarcerated individuals, who are the cream of the crop among the general population, who are trusted with 4 of Foothill Dog Rescues Dogs and provide basic obedience and Canine Good Citizen training.
This program has enabled Foothill Dog Rescue to save an additional 27 dogs in the 24 months that the program has existed.
Wednesday September 16th is the external 2 year celebration of the New Paws On the Block.
While incarcerated, and as a participant in the program, I came up with the idea to create this calendars featuring 12 of the dogs that our program has saved. 2 weeks later I was released due to exemplary conduct, and asked by the Foothill Dog Rescue team if I would be willing to undertake this project.
I built my first draft in a nationwide drug stores website, but one calendar was priced at $35. I built a new version using Claude AI, and unfortunately my home printer was not capable of handling a project of this size, scale, and magnitude. I went to a national office supply store and they quoted us $365 for 15 calendars coiled and printed in regular paper, I called a local printing service who quoted us $625 for 20 calendars.
Our Hail Mary was Minuteman Press, who graciously undertook our project and kept our dream of creating these calendars alive!
Myself, and the Foothill Dog Rescue team, are beyond humbled, appreciative, and grateful to Minuteman Press, who themselves are a small local business, for their hard work, kindness, and generosity for completing our project.
For anyone in the Antelope Valley, State of California, or anywhere in the United States looking for a company who provides a printing service for your business, organization, or nonprofit I would not recommend going anywhere but Minuteman Press in Lancaster California. They have the ability to ship anywhere in the United States, can handle a wide variety of projects, have a quick turnaround time, and are some of the most professional and kind people you can interact with! Great customer service, great support, LETS KEEP THEM IN BUSINESS!!
From all of us at Foothill Dog Rescue, Thank You Minuteman Press!
