Be The Change... If Not YOU... Who?

There comes a time in each of our lives that we are challenged to speak or remain silent.  That time is now.  In Randolph County we still allow a gas chamber to be in effect to manage pet over population. I am sad to report that over 7,000 animals are killed each year.  To be clear, there
are some animals that are adopted, but it is a very minuscule amount compared to the thousands of healthy and adoptable animals whose lives are cut short.

In 2005, my family was given the chance to save one of these fur babies.  I received a call from my vet who said a Pembroke Welsh Corgi was saved from the gas chamber.  We took her in. She was filthy, had been bred multiple times, and had huge bald spots on her back.  This was Layla then:

     

She needed love, patience, and good food to help her heal.  She was so scared and so unsure for a very long time.... but then, her inner corgi came out... and she found her way.  Instead of dying in the gas chamber that day, she started living... 

This was her first trip to the beach.... she really started to blossom!  She IS the reason that I BELIEVE in the change that is happening in this county.  With the Randolph SPCA, we are making a difference!

Our spay/neuter van is putting a dent in the pet overpopulation in this county, and amazing volunteers are taking puppies and loving dogs to other shelters up north that need adoptable animals in their community.

You can also be a part of the change!  Volunteer your time at the Dog Will store at the Randolph SPCA, choose to use your skills to be a committee member, participate in and attend fund raisers that support the cause.  

Our upcoming fundraiser:  Second Chances THIRD Annual Motorcycle Ride http://midgenoblesecondchances.com/second-chances-motorcycle-ride-fundraiser_275.html is a great place to start....even if you aren't a rider!  You can choose to ride, be a vendor, sponsor our T Shirts, Bounce House, or donate a silent auction item!  More on that later... but know, that we are moving forward and we will provide a SAFE, LOVING, Adoption/ Education low cost spay/neuter shelter.  The only decision is, are you in?  

And, TONIGHT we are holding a PEACE RALLY in front of the Court House in Randolph County to stand up for these fur babies who are teaching us to live compassionately.  We are responsible for their lives, and they deserve us to show up and be our best.  Check out this link to get more information.  http://www.icontact-archive.com/vcFHqO6IStm5JpgG0sYmzwmf8aewhHwb?w=2  

So, the time is now.  YOU are the change.
