THIS SATURDAY, 8 MARCH, we are excited to announce that Jordan’s Way will be joining us, at the Shelter, for a 3-hour LIVE fundraiser as part of their national tour! This event is scheduled for SATURDAY, MARCH 8th, from 10AM-1PM. This event, hosted by Jordan’s Way from 10 am – 1 pm, is all about raising funds for our Shelter, and you can donate from the comfort of your own home. Whether you can donate $5, $10, $25, $100, $200, $500, or more, every contribution will make a positive difference for our Shelter pets. We also ask everyone to please invite, tag, and share this event with everyone you know. The more people we reach, the more support we gain for our deserving animals.
Now the donation link is actually up and running now and we would love to start with a good amount as that will make some of the shorter-term challenges even more fun for our teams (more on that below) – you can donate now and through the event here:

This is critical – besides donors, we need help AT the Shelter on Saturday with a minimum of 30 folks (18 and older please), with your charged up cell phones, from 9-1. There will be fun challenges and games while ALL of us work our phones and contacts to solicit others to donate during the LIVE event. We need to know as soon as possible if we will have enough people for Saturday, so if you can commit to that four-hour window with us Saturday, please let us know soonest – we promise it will be FUN, so please email us at [email protected], or call us at 334-567-3377, or message the Shelter on our Faceook page, or come see us at the Shelter this week. Bit of warning – some of these fun games and challenges might result in some of us getting wet, or slimed, or some such other fun, so we advise bringing another set of clothes to change into, just in case.
It would sure be fun to have some local leadership, business owners, law enforcement, first responders, media, pastors, etc willing to perhaps take a pie to the face or participate in a tortilla slap to help us raise even more funds as folks donate just to watch that fun happen. Please just let Rea know at the Shelter if you can find some time to come in to participate in that.
Kris Rotonda, Jordan’s Way founder will be doing shoutouts throughout the Live event recognizing donors, those doing the challenges, local businesses supporting the event and more. It will be a wild, fast-paced ride on Saturday so don’t miss out!
So that our staff can fully participate, the Shelter will be CLOSED UNTIL 2 pm Saturday. We hope you understand as making this event a huge success will take all of our staff, volunteers and supporters to participate. And many of our staff are on tap for some of the challenges (like eating a bug or a super hot ‘chip’ and more, so huge high fives to them for being willing to play along).
Another way to help us is we would greatly appreciate any donations of snacks, sandwiches, drinks, etc for all of our participants that day. We want to be good hosts to Kris and the Jordan’s Way crew who are making this happen for us and for Shelters all over the country. They are raising amazing amounts of money to help Shelter and Rescue animals all over and that is simply a most wonderful thing indeed – we are grateful to be included so please help us make this a success!
