Roy Has His Raffle Tickets! Do You Have Yours?

September 7, 2017/in Evening of Pawsibilities, Event Alerts /by Rachel Cronmiller

Present or not, YOU can win a valuable prize!

Which Evening of Pawsibilities raffle prize is Roy hoping to win? Could it be the $500 AMEX gift card? Imagine how many toys and treats he could buy! Or maybe he’s looking for more than a treat–perhaps he’d like to cook something special like a mouse or bird on his new Saber grill? (Hey, to each his own!) If he makes more than he can eat, he can invite his feline friends over for a BBQ and some mews, er, brews, kept cold in a hardy Yeti cooler. Or maybe Roy will decide to leave it all behind and escape to Asheville for the weekend, enjoying two nights at the Omni Resort where he can indulge in a massage and play golf. What’ll it be, Roy?

$30 for 30: Second Chance Celebrates Three Decades of Saving Animals

July 3, 2017/in Evening of Pawsibilities /by Rachel Cronmiller

From three women fostering animals in their backyards, to officially incorporating as a nonprofit and opening an adoption center, Second Chance Pet Adoptions has come a long way in the 30 years since we began. We have rescued over 12,000 cats and dogs. We have a facility that holds 120 animals and welcomes over 3,500 visitors per year, a website that receives over 155,000 visitors per year, and almost 700 active volunteers helping us care for animals and raise money. And we’re nowhere near done—we intend to do this work for as many decades as it takes to find a home for every animal in need. We know we can do more with you in our corner. Homeless cats and dogs are counting on your continued support as we celebrate this milestone and look to the future. Would you confirm your promise to be there for the animals with a contribution to our “$30 for 30” campaign? Seize the opportunity to be a part of this momentous occasion and to celebrate 30 years of giving love a second chance. Learn more here.
