Needing Volunteers - Email from Shelby

Friends of UCC

I really need some volunteers for the Sidewalk Sale Committee. We have one big sale in April, and one in November That would involve soliciting items, picking them up, sorting, pricing and transporting on day of sale. Four volunteers are needed for that committee, and I would help, of course.

Our Sidewalk Sales help pay for The Big Fix, our spay and neuter program, kennels/fences, help for pet families in crisis, and Santa Paws, our holiday celebration of Life, Love, and Loyal Friends. We plan to invite 200 pet families for Santa Paws 2011.

Please donate your unwanted items.

Volunteer meeting coming up very soon. Many changes for 2011.

Thanks,
Shelby

Need Help in Fayetteville, NC ASAP!

Email from Shelby -

Mama dog and three very young puppies will be trapped and taken to the shelter if someone won't help. Mama is a Dachshund, very pretty, dumped while pregnant; Fayetteville city limits. A nice man in the neighborhood has been feeding her, but does not have to means to continue. She is scared to death because of her situation. Does anyone know of a rescue group that might help?

Pet Families in Crisis

Unchain Cumberland County is the only group in this area, maybe in the entire state, that helps pet families in crisis, whatever the reason. We offer food boxes, bag lunches, coats, sweats, wool scarves etc for the people; we offer food, treats, shelter, spay or neuter, basic medical care, flea and tick prevention...whatever it takes to ease the suffering of their animals.
UCC was approved last summer for shopping at Second Harvest Food Bank, which means we can buy great food for a fraction of the retail cost. The items we cannot buy at Second Harvest are purchased at Merita Outlet and Food Lion with our Petty Cash donations.
I hope you will place a UCC donation jar in your place of business, or, if you cannot do that, maybe ask your family and friends to donate $1 each to our "Food for Friends" program. (Labels attached)
Also, if you know of a pet family in crisis, just let us know. No one will be turned away.
Thank you so much; I know you care.

Please Help if you Can!

Sorry for the duplicate posts....but we need YOUR help!


One of the families we have been helping with pet and people food told us that their two female dogs had been "fixed". Well, those two "fixed" dogs had twenty puppies over the last two days, and one mama dog dropped dead. The other poor thing is trying to nurse all those puppies.
Can anyone take some of those pups in about six weeks? They are regular dogs, pretty and sweet, about 30 lbs... just dogs. (The very best pets)
UCC is providing food, and will get Mama Dog spayed as soon as she stops nursing. Our budget does not allow shots for all those puppies.
Please forward this to every rescue group you can vouch for.
