Special Note on Auction Donations:
We endeavor to be completely transparent in everything we do. Here is some additional info about how we process items donated for fundraising purposes:
❤️Items donated may be sold on a variety of platforms. These include, but are not limited to: Ebay, Poshmark, Online FB Auction, Silent Auction, Yard Sales, Direct Sales and other SACC events. Example: we may decide that a coach brand purse would do better on our shelter’s Poshmark account versus Facebook auction. It’s all about what we believe will raise the most money for our animals veterinary bills.
❤️ If we receive seasonal items, they may be held until the next year so that we can sell them to their full potential. Example: if we get a Christmas item in July, we will hold that item until November to make the most impact. In addition, we sometimes hold items aside until we have like items to put into a package or basket. Example: if we receive some cute dog bowls, we may set them inside until we have a few other items to put into a package such as toys, dog treats, or dog sweaters.
❤️Some items may be kept for use with animals at SACC.
❤️Any donated items that cannot be used by SACC will be given to Knox Area Rescue Ministries (KARM) for sale in their thrift store. One example would be used/recycled clothing.
❤️ If you are unsure about whether an item you have would be helpful for our various sales platforms including Facebook auction, you are welcome to message or call us. Of course we are also here for you if you have any questions about what sort of things sell well for us.
❤️Because of the volume of donations we receive, and the variety of selling platforms we use, we are unable to provide specific information about how your donated items were sold after the item has been donated.
❤️❤️❤️ We appreciate your understanding and support. We cannot overstate how much of a difference and impact your donations are making! Our Facebook auction page alone has helped us pay for hundreds of medical procedures and medications. When a animal comes to us sick or injured and needs a little extra care, they are able to get everything they need because of folks like you!
New Building Fund:
Did you know that our current shelter location is only temporary?! That’s right-we have a brand new shelter building in the works! Land has been purchased on Old Knoxville Hwy right down from the fairgrounds and plans have been drawn up. Our goal is to break ground on this project by the end of 2021. While we are grateful for our temporary space at 1040 Dolly Parton Parkway, the new shelter will double the space we have for animals in need and give us more room for community programs. Our 12,000 sq. ft. building plan features a large cat patio or ‘catio’ for folks to meet adoptable cats in a more natural setting, indoor/outdoor kennels for the dogs, practical and low stress exam areas, several visit rooms, and a large community room for additional program outreach. While this project is being mainly funded by the cities and county, we still need your help. Our fundraising goal is $500,000 and we will soon be offering opportunities for individuals and/or businesses to immortalize their name on room and kennel plaques.
