Rescue Raffle

ALL THE DETAILS

*IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING ONE OF THESE PUPPIES, PLEASE READ THE WHOLE POST.*
--
We’d like to introduce you to these cuties--Pearl, Poppy, Peach, Pico, and Percy--the dachshund puppies that came in a few weeks ago through a large surrender case. They are healthy, oh-so-precious, and finally ready for adoption!

That’s right!

But BEFORE YOU EMAIL OR CALL ABOUT ADOPTING... PLEASE KEEP READING.
​
We’re going to try something a little different with these puppies, and this will be the only way these puppies will be available for adoption. (Regular adoption policies and procedures will still apply.)

COVID-19 has put Southern Pines in a difficult spot by postponing or cancelling all of our spring/summer fundraisers--income that we rely on to keep our shelter up and operating so that we can continue helping the hurting and homeless pets in our community. We’ve had to think more creatively than ever before, innovating new ways to help our animals. So, in that spirit, we have put together a super fun, fundraising adoption event that will benefit all of our residents at the shelter--from longtimers like Penelope to underage kittens like Ozzie who are not feeling their best--helping them get the care they need so they can find the loving forever homes they deserve.

We also know that there are going to be quite a few of y’all who are interested in making one of these babies a part of your family, and we think this adoption event will help make this process as fair as possible for everyone involved. Highly desirable animals like these often result in hundreds of phone calls, messages, and emails to our shelter that we unfortunately do not have the manpower to accommodate on a normal day, let alone during this time in which we are operating with a reduced staff due to our current COVID-19 protocols. 

So how does it work? Basically, it’s a raffle!

1. Donate for raffle tickets (no ticket limit)
2. Raffle tickets put you in the running for the chance to adopt one (1) of these FIVE (5) puppies!
3. Watch the Facebook Live Drawing on May 27th at 2pm to see if you’ve won a spot!
4. Curbside Adoption Meet ‘n Greets will be scheduled for the FIVE (5) drawn winners
5. Pay the adoption fee and adopt your new forever friend!*

If you are experiencing technical issues or have a question regarding the raffle, please contact media@southernpinesanimalshelter.org. Please do not contact our office directly about adopting these puppies.
