"It's Raining Cats and Dogs" in Claiborne County

The song, "Raining Cats and Dogs" was written for the Claiborne Animal Shelter by Peter Martz. We have gladly accepted his unusual donation! The video we put with it shows shelter volunteers raising money, hosting low-cost spay/neuter, and building the shelter.

As you can see, we're getting closer to the finish line by the day. Your tax-deductible donation will go 100% toward getting this shelter built. Please consider sending it today; because, as the song says...

"You and I can make a difference if we open up our door, the clouds will break apart and blow away and the sun will shine once more."

This Stuff is Great! When's the Auction?

The Claiborne Animal Shelter Auction is really coming together! If we make enough money, we won't have to stop construction. That's great news for the owners - YOU and me!

Auctioneer Jim McMurray of United Country Stone Realty & Auction Co. Inc., and his sidekick, Robin McMurray have volunteered to auction off the goods. Thanks Jim and Robin!

Here's what we have so far: farm equipment, antique furniture, 4 UT Lady Vols tickets, 2 Pizza Inn dinners, collectibles, a car that runs, a truck that will run with a bit of TLC, lawn equipment, gas cards from Taz's BP, and two flat bed trailers.

Do you have something to give? There's still time to donate items for the auction. Call our office 423-626-2686 to make arrangements. (Remember these words: tax deductible)

The slideshow below previews just a few of the items that'll be sold to the highest bidder in December.
