CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – (CLARKSVILLENOW) Precious Friends Puppy Rescue and the Humane Society of Clarksville-Montgomery Co. are joining forces to prepare a giant indoor Yard Sale at a building recently donated by Singletary Construction at 20 Barker St.
Funds are being raised for building renovations at the new location, which will serve as the future home of Precious Friends Puppy Rescue, a non-profit organization that has been rescuing puppies in the Clarksville community since 1992.
The sale will be held Friday & Saturday, December 14 & 15, 8 am-4 pm, and Sunday December 16 11 am-3 pm at the Barker Street location. Donations of items in clean, good working condition are being collected through Monday, December 10 daily from 11 am-3 pm. To schedule a different drop off time, donors are encouraged to email humanesociety@clarksville.com and not leave items unattended outside of the building.
A Sneak-Peek VIP Sale will be held on Thursday, December 13 from 6 pm to 9 pm. Tickets for the Sneak-Peek are available in advance for just $10 each at www.clarksvillehumanesociety.org/events.
Precious Friends is undergoing reorganization after receiving news that long-time funding from North Shore Animal League America would terminate at the end of this year in addition to notice of a rent increase. When Humane Society Executive Director Amy Shaver heard that Precious Friends was in trouble, she reached out to fellow animal lovers to see if a core group could be formed to save the organization.
As part of the reorganization effort, Precious Friends plans to greatly increase local adoptions that will expand to include the rescue and adoption of kittens in addition to puppies.
Financial contributions towards building renovations can be made at that link, too. VIP ticket holders will be entered in a drawing to win a $50 gift card to PetSmart, and VIP night will also include silent auction, refreshments, and a tour showing off future shelter plans.
