Welcome to our 2nd Rescue Raffle!

We’d like to introduce you to these sweet pups--Pudding, Peartree, Poinsettia, Plum, Prancer & Pecan! These adorable dachshund/terrier mix puppies have spent the last few weeks romping and playing their little hearts out in a foster home, and they are now ready to find families of their very own.

BUT BEFORE YOU EMAIL OR CALL ABOUT ADOPTING ONE OF THEM, PLEASE KEEP READING...
Highly desirable animals like these pups 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 at times due to our current COVID-19 protocols. This raffle will be the only way these pups will be available for adoption.


WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF OUR RESCUE RAFFLE?
Rescue Raffle is a fundraising event that benefits all of our residents at the shelter--from longtimers like Peppa to kittens like Oliver who are not feeling their best--helping them get the care they need so they can find the loving homes they deserve.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has put Southern Pines in a difficult spot by postponing or cancelling all of our in-person fundraisers since last March--almost 10 months of events. Because we rely on community donations to keep our shelter up and operating, we needed to get a little creative with our fundraising events so that we can continue helping the hurting and homeless pets in our community. Because our last Rescue Raffle in the spring was such a success, we’ve decided to hold another one to help raise much-needed funds for animals in need.


SO WHAT ARE YOU ENTERING TO WIN WHEN YOU PURCHASE RESCUE RAFFLE TICKETS?
Please note, we are NOT raffling off puppies, rather we are raffling off the first 6 adoption appointments to meet them. 1 (One) Raffle Ticket = 1 (One) chance to win an adoption appointment. This means the 6 individuals who win the raffle will be first in line--in order of how their names are drawn--to meet these puppies and decide whether or not one of these pups will be a good fit for their family. This will be the only way these puppies will be available for adoption. (Regular adoption policies, fees, and procedures will all still apply.)

SO HOW DOES IT WORK?

1. Donate for raffle tickets; click "Get Entries" (no limit): https://www.classy.org/event/rescue-raffle/e322336/register/new/select-tickets
2. Raffle tickets put you in the running for the chance to adopt one of these 6 (SIX) puppies!
3. Watch the Facebook Live Drawing on Saturday, January 30th at 2pm to see if you’ve won an adoption appointment.
4. Adoption Meet ‘n Greet Appointments will be scheduled for the 6 (SIX) drawn winners
5. Come at your scheduled time to meet the puppies
5. Pay the adoption fee ($550) and adopt your new puppy pal!

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. Because of the COVID-19 crisis, we do not currently have the manpower available to accommodate the influx of calls that tiny puppies inevitably generate. For the chance to adopt one of these puppies, individuals MUST enter the raffle event. Thank you for participating and helping us save more lives than ever before!
