**The Dog Days of Summer: A Time for Giving Back with Sunset Scents**
As the sun blazes down and temperatures soar, we find ourselves in the midst of the "dog days of summer." This phrase, originating from the ancient belief that the "dog star" Sirius contributed to the hottest days of the year, now symbolizes a time when the summer heat can be stifling, and energy levels might dip. However, for those dedicated to animal rescue, this season is anything but a time to slow down.
Rescue organizations like Valley of the Sun Dog Rescue face unique challenges during the summer months. The combination of increased shelter intake, especially of puppies and dogs needing medical care, and the decreased rate of adoptions due to families traveling or avoiding the heat can strain resources. Additionally, fundraising becomes a critical challenge as donations often dip during this period, when many people are on vacation or spending their extra funds on summer activities.
At Sunset Scents, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. That’s why, for the second year in a row, we are thrilled to partner with Valley of the Sun Dog Rescue to help them navigate these challenging months. This summer, we’re introducing our exclusive line of Dog Days Candles—a collection of three unique scents inspired by the warmth and spirit of the season.
Each purchase of our Dog Days Candles not only brings delightful fragrances into your home but also supports a great cause. We are committed to donating 10% of the proceeds from each candle sold directly to Valley of the Sun Dog Rescue. This contribution helps provide much-needed funds for veterinary care, food, shelter, and other essentials that these animals need as they await their forever homes.
Our Dog Days Candles feature the following scents:
1.**French Market**- (Pink) Soft notes of a French flower market with a blend of Coconut, Peach, White Berries, Roses & Magnolias
2.**Lemon Verbena**- (Yellow) Invigorating notes of Lemon, Orange, Bergamot, Lemongrass & Birch wood
3.**Cinnamon Sugar Donut**- (Tan) Buttery notes of Sweet Dough, Maple Syrup, Cinnamon and Sweet Vanilla
By purchasing one of these special candles, you’re not only treating yourself to a beautiful scent but also playing a vital role in supporting the care and well-being of dogs in need.
We invite you to join us in making a difference during the dog days of summer. Together, with your support and our shared love for animals, we can help Valley of the Sun Dog Rescue continue their incredible work. Let’s make this summer not just about enduring the heat, but about spreading warmth and kindness to our four-legged friends who need it the most.
We’ve personally experienced the joy of adopting a rescue dog, Elliot, from Valley of the Sun Dog Rescue. His unconditional love has enriched our lives immeasurably. We want to share that same happiness with others.
