Shizzy’s Doggy Haven in partnership with the Oak Ridge Animal Shelter are sponsoring a pet drive and adoption fair on Saturday. All donations from the event will go directly to the animal shelter.

Spring has sprung and that means the shelter is full of puppies, kittens, adult dogs, and cats that are looking for their new home. Drop by for some puppy love and a chance to adopt your new best friend! We will also have lots of silent auction items available including a grill donated by Home Depot.

We have amazing door prizes available from local sponsors and all you need to do to enter is bring an item the shelter desperately needs to continue to run efficiently. The shelter’s needs are blankets, towels, dog beds, crates and cages, cat carriers, dish soap, (he) laundry soap, cleaning supplies, dog food (wet and dry), puppy and kitten food, cat litter, newspapers, toys, stuffed animals, collars, leashes, and most of all YOU!

Come out and show support for our local shelter. See all the changes that have been made including the new paint job and learn about volunteer opportunities. Best of all visit the precious animals that are looking for their furever home and save a life (or two)!

Shizzy’s Doggy Haven’s mission is to help low-income families by providing emergency food and spay/neuter assistance along with rescuing senior dogs so they can retire with peace and dignity. Shizzy’s Doggy Haven will soon be fundraising to build a senior sanctuary to house senior dogs until their adoptive families can be located.
