Welcome to our 3rd Rescue Raffle!

We’d like to introduce you to these sweet pups--Freesia, Fuschia, & Foxglove. These adorable Dachshund/Chihuahua 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. 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 Beyblade to kitties like Pumpkin who are not feeling their best--helping them get the care they need so they can find the loving homes they deserve.

On average, it costs Southern Pines $300 per pet to get them ready for adoption. From providing medical care, spay/neuter surgery, food, shelter, love, and so much more--our average adoption fees are much lower than the investment we put into our pets to help them find health, happiness, and loving homes of their very own. This raffle and these puppies' adoption fees help us continue our mission to help pets in need and help us continue to give every pet in our care their best chance at a new beginning.


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 3 adoption appointments to meet them. 1 (One) Raffle Ticket = 1 (One) chance to win an adoption appointment.

This means the 3 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://give.classy.org/RescueRaffle2022
2. Raffle tickets put you in the running for the chance to adopt one of these 3 (THREE) puppies!
3. Watch the Facebook Live Drawing on Thursday, March 24th at 2pm to see if you’ve won an adoption appointment.
4. Adoption Meet ‘n Greet Appointments will be scheduled for the 3 (THREE) drawn winners
5. Come at your scheduled time to meet the puppies
5. Pay the adoption fee and adopt your new puppy pal!
