Shelley’s Jewelry hosts shelter animal meet and greet fundraiser

By Lightning Reports, Published: March 24, 2017

Shelley’s Jewelry, 429 North Main Street, Hendersonville, will host a meet and greet with Blue Ridge Humane Society animals on Monday, March 27, 10 am to 3 pm. Meet dogs from the shelter and bring monetary donations for the shelter to put towards supporting the animals from the recent hoarding and neglect case.

In March, a hoarding and neglect case was discovered in Fletcher involving 8 cats and 32 dogs. These animals were living in absolutely deplorable conditions; many packed into crates without food or water. Blue Ridge Humane Society was able to offer safe shelter to one cat and twelve dogs from this case. These animals are now warm, loved, and being cared for on a daily basis. Many of the dogs have medical and dental issues that are being addressed. A conservative estimate for getting these dogs the care they need is around $6,000.
