AS&CC Holding Online Auction, Clinics

The Animal Shelter and Care Committee, located in Boulder and serving Jefferson County, is holding its first-ever online auction. The event, which runs from April 11, 2021 through May 9, 2021, will include artworks, pets, jewelry, dining, and home goods.

The AS&CC, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization is working to build a permanent animal shelter for Jefferson County to temporarily house the many lost and abandoned animals in the area. The AS&CC received a 2.6 acre long-term land lease agreement for the purpose of building the shelter and are now working on funding for the construction phase. As Reed’s Animals Rescue closed earlier in March, a permanent rescue is much needed in the Whitehall area, and the entire county.

The online auction will begin on National Pet Day, April 11th and the AS&CC hopes that the event is a key fundraising effort for the shelter. The event is open to residents and non-residents of Jefferson County. Participants can register early, browse the featured packages and as of April 11th, start bidding! Register early at www. https://animalshelterandcarecommittee.org/register-for-auction.

The AS&CC is also working on their first annual dog walk event, with details to be released in the near future.
