Save Opal's Shelter

We made it! Our $10,000 goal for the ChipIn campaign has been met! Thank you to every single one of the 199 people who contributed to this ChipIn. Large or small, your contribution made a difference in the lives of this shelter and all the animals staying there until they find their forever home. (The Campaign continues through the end of June, if you still want to give please visit our home page!)


We invite you to remain friends of The Animal Shelter, the shelter YOU helped save:

Thank you so much everyone - the first $5,000 donation has been met! The matching funds are on their way from the donor, who says Opal is overjoyed! (see her and Shelter foster dog Erin below).

Another wonderful donor has stepped forward to add an additional $5,000 to the matching fund! Donations up to $10,000 will be matched! We are overwhelmed by your generosity and support for our shelter and our animals.

The Animal Shelter in Anniston, Alabama has been providing shelter for homeless dogs and cats in Calhoun County for over 30 years. But times are hard, and the shelter is struggling.

In honor of her beagle mix Opal, adopted from The Animal Shelter, a donor is matching all donations made during June up to $5,000 total!

Please help keep the shelter open so they can continue their life-saving work. Please give now!

#1 Organize a Group Gift: Perhaps you only have $2 sitting, but you know 20 people (think co-workers, Bible study, or your social club) who also have $2 sitting. Organize a group Giving Day. Together, your $2, and someone else's $5, and another's $1, can add up to something great.

#2 Spread the Word: Maybe you write for a newsletter. Or you know someone who's been looking for a good cause. Is there a posting board at your grocery store or church? Post a flyer!

#3 Add a Widget: If you have a Web site, blog, or social networking page, you can copy the widget on our ChipIn page and post it on your site.

#4 Vote: What's better than free money? Vote for us in the Animal Rescue Site's Shelter+ Challenge!

#5 Share Your Ideas: Has something different worked for you or another group in the past? Know of another way to get help? Have a good suggestion to share? We're all ears! Send us an email.
