Gigantic Rummage Sale October 3


The Claiborne Animal Shelter annual Fundraiser/Garage Sale is scheduled for Saturday, October 3 from 8-2 in front of Ball's Hardware on 25E. We'll be selling clothing, household items, collectibles, hot dogs, shelter t-shirts, and anything else we can get our hands on!

If you have items to donate, please drop them off that morning between 7:30-8:00. If you need to drop off earlier, give our office a call at 423-626-2686 to make arrangements.

We hope you'll be there to support us because...


This building is going up faster than greased lightening!

The good news is, we don't have one cent of debt.

The bad news? Our bank account is at an all-time low.

The generosity of this community is what's making this happen. Please support our rummage sale and keep this shelter going up - Up - UP!

Also, a gigantic THANKS to the kids of Claiborne County who participated in our writing project! Stay tuned to read what kids in grades 1-3 think the animal shelter should do. (And to find out who won the drawing!!)

The Shelter, The Fair, and The Kids of Claiborne County




The walls are up and the roof is going on! Isn't it a pretty sight? It's happening because of people like you who have donated money, goods, services, and lots of time. This is an accomplishment we all can be proud of - together, we really are making a difference!

We had a great time at the County Fair! We sold a bunch of t-shirts, got lots of $$ in our donation jar, and had the chance to meet so many of you whose generosity has gotten us where we are today. Thanks for your continuing support!

Hey first to third grade kids and teachers, don't forget to tell us what YOU think an animal shelter should do. Send us your opinion individually or as a class project. The name of everyone who participates will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of three cool prizes. Scroll down the page for more details or click here to be instantly transported there. The deadline is September 18. We hope to hear from you soon!
