Now to talk about another important event this Saturday. For those of you who didn't know about Scrappy, Scrapnesia's stray cat out back...here's the story. Kaysi saw this tiny little cat with a bob tail out back in the parking lot and her heart went gooey. Kaysi proceeded to feed this cat at every crop trying to get him to come to her. She and Cindy even followed him across the railroad track through the briars and brush. Finally, we caught the cat, so Kaysi had to find the cat a home. She found this awesome gentleman in Simpsonville who operates Loving Home Animal Rescue. The man who runs this animal rescue is a disabled marine who operates from his home using donations and his own income.

LOVING HOME ANIMAL RESCUE TO HOST ADOPT-A-THON, DONATION DRIVE & VOLUNTEER OPEN HOUSE

(Fountain Inn, S.C.) Loving Home Rescue and Adoption, a family-based 501.3c, NO KILL non-profit pet rescue operation in Fountain Inn, will host an Adopt-a-Thon, a Donation Drive and a Volunteer Open House this Saturday, November 7th, from 10:00am to 5:00pm. The local no-kill pet rescue had planned to host these events last weekend, but due to inclement weather, the event has been rescheduled.

“We take in damaged and injured animals, the old and very young, the disabled, and the ‘plain-Janes and average-Joes’- the ones with the awesome personalities who just can't compete with the cute little puppies and kittens that everyone wants to take home.” said McKnight, who, being a disabled Marine himself, can identify.

The number of cats and dogs at the no-kill shelter at any one time is fluid – animals are dropped off and animals are adopted – but a general head count can reveal up to 50 dogs and puppies and 80 cats and kittens. The rescue has suffered a large influx of animals during the recession, which is why McKnight plans to host an Adopt-A-Thon of kittens, cats, puppies and dogs that day.

Located off Fairview Road in Fountain Inn, SC, Loving Home runs entirely off donations, which are CRITICAL in their efforts to rescue animals from euthanasia, abuse, neglect and overpopulation and McKnight admits that more donations are desperately needed to help with the shelter’s rising vet bills, but also added that money isn’t the only valuable commodity. Some people contribute bags of dog and cat food and cat litter. Others help by donating building materials or fencing that McKnight can use to add on to the shelter. Some people simply donate their labor or time. “We encourage people to come visit the animals, just to pet them and talk to them, and help socialize them for potential new homes” he said.

Currently, the shelter is in need of volunteers to help with all aspects of the animals’ care and shelter operations, including feeding, cleaning and playing with the animals, carpentry projects, shelter promotion-both locally and on the Internet (blogs, websites, social media), public relations and fundraising efforts, and the adoption process of naming the dogs and cats, photographing them, and uploading their information to the various adoption websites.

If you would like to adopt a pet, volunteer or make a donation, please call (864) 399-2612 or visit their website at www.LovingHomeRescue.com.
