To highlight National Volunteer Week and the amazing works of those with the heart to get involved, I am delighted to bring you the event of the day. The dedication plaque for the play yards was delivered today. Gimme Shelter, Inc. plays such a vital role in helping animals in need, and ensuring the quality of life for shelter animals, that this was just thrilling to witness. The play yards have served as haven for the shelter dogs, a place of quiet and of conquest. Petrified dogs have found their inner spirit. Social dogs have reached out to the shut down and depressed. Our feral boy Koby learned how to start being a dog within these yards. Photos of the dogs, their love shared with volunteers, and their achievements have happened because these play yards exist. Gimme Shelter, Inc. has supported Isle Of Wight County Animal Shelter in remarkable ways as the care and lives of the dogs improve. The Pave the Way Project will be highlighted tomorrow night, which is part of the landscaping project that is being kicked off to continue to improve the life quality for our shelter dogs. The major founders, listed on the plaque, did not just create a place for the dogs to be, but a sanctuary for them to become all they can be within the confines of a shelter environment. The generous giving of Gimme Shelter, Inc. continues, and the future homeless animals will continue to benefit as the outdoor play area receives more focus. This is mind blowing stuff! It is community in action motivated by care and love. When you support Gimme Shelter Thrift Shop, you support the needs of the animals in the community. Thank you! ~ Isle Of Wight County Animal Shelter
"Pave the Way to Play" Dog Park Dedication Ceremony
We want to thank Gimme Shelter Thrift Shop - Smithfield, VA for the beautiful and successful dedication ceremony! Lots of people from the community came out to support the fantastic volunteer work performed by the thrift shop, and to celebrate the improvements made to the shelter which enhances the lives of the shelter dogs. Beautification is just the beginning. The play yard area offers an excellent chance for each shelter dog to have access to daily exercise, provides a place for meet and greets with other dogs, and gives volunteers a wonderful place to play with the dogs. Without the generosity of Gimme Shelter, the dogs and potential adopters would not have the all the wonderful advantages the play yard offers. We appreciate all you do for the animals of the county, and especially the animals of Isle Of Wight County Animal Shelter! Thank you. It was rewarding to see such a great turnout for this event! ~ Isle of Wight County Animal Shelter
