Happy Tails No Kill Animal Shelter has started collecting 5-cent returnable containers.<\/p><\/div>\n

A new year often means cleaning out, getting rid of and sometimes even having a need to downsize. The middle of the winter isn\u2019t the best time to have a yard sale. But who wants to store all of that stuff? That was the point, wasn\u2019t it? Getting rid of it.<\/p>\n

Most people donate their no longer needed items to an organization, which then sells it as a fundraiser.<\/p>\n

Happy Tails No Kill Animal Shelter is collecting gently used and no longer needed items for their semi-annual yard sale coming up this spring.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take pretty much anything in good condition except used adult clothing,\u201d said Happy Tails board member Carolyn Crow. \u201cDonated items should be reasonably clean and in working order.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crow went on to explain that it\u2019s important for breakable items to be wrapped in newspaper or plastic and put in a box. And not obvious what something is, it would be helpful to attach a note or label as to its contents.<\/p>\n

In the past, board members and volunteers have found that the following items sell well: kitchen items, cookware, small appliances, small furniture, books, audio books, jewelry, knick-knacks, games, toys, baby items, and baby and children\u2019s clothing.<\/p>\n

Happy Tails No Kill Animal Shelter, still under construction, but in hopes of completing the building by the end of 2015.<\/p><\/div>\n

They also accept tools, garden d\u00e9cor items, sporting goods, pet items, CD\u2019s, DVD\u2019s, framed art, and Christmas items.<\/p>\n

Donations of folding tables to use at their sales would be very much appreciated since every year they have to borrow them.<\/p>\n

They also use donated items to sell on eBay. Susan Webb takes care of this and is always looking for more items. She can be reached at swebb@epix.net or (570) 265-2222. What doesn\u2019t sell on eBay goes into their yard sale. In addition to the yard sale in the spring, they also have one in the early fall.<\/p>\n

Happy Tails has also started collecting 5-cent returnable containers. The Franklindale Fire Department has been saving 5-cent bottles and cans for them. Happy Tails is looking for other businesses that will do the same. Every little bit helps when it comes to fundraising.<\/p>\n

\"Out<\/a>

Happy Tails No Kill Animal Shelter measures 60 x 100 feet and is able to provide housing for 20 dogs, 10 puppies, and 50 cats, with additional space for isolation areas for both cats and dogs.<\/p><\/div>\n

Happy Tails No Kill Animal Shelter has made progress since last summer. The plumbing and radiant heat work is completely finished. The next step is pouring the concrete. Once that is accomplished, framing the interior of the shelter can take place.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn these final stages of construction, donations of all kinds are crucial,\u201d said director Karen Friedenberg.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many ways to help. We always welcome the donation of your time as a volunteer. We would be grateful for donated materials or skilled labor to help finish the interior of our shelter.\u201d Friedenberg added that they appreciate all the help that they have been getting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been very fortunate to have been able to work with several local companies who believe in our cause and have been generous enough to do much of our construction work at a reduced cost,\u201d said Friedenberg, referring to Bishop Brothers\u2019 Construction, Doubletree Builders, Innovative Energy Group, and Zachary Mowry Excavating.<\/p>\n

Even without a physical shelter available yet, Happy Tails has been busy in the community helping animals. Through their rescue groups in Owego, New York and in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, they have provided care for hundreds of animals, and have found homes for many.<\/p>\n

Some of the items Susan Webb may have for sale on eBay as a fundraiser for Happy Tails No Kill Animal Shelter.<\/p><\/div>\n

For more information about Happy Tails No Kill Animal Shelter or how to become a part of this cause, visit www.happytailsnokillanimalshelter.com<\/a> email them at happytails68@gmail.com or call (607) 742-8061. Paypal is on their website, which makes it easy to donate electronically. Friedenberg mentioned how much they appreciated one individual who signed up through Paypal to donate monthly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have no paid staff,\u201d said Friedenberg. \u201cWe are all volunteers who love animals and want to see them have a better world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The goal of the Happy Tails board of directors is to finish the building of the shelter before the start of the next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will depend on the community chipping in and seeing this as their building,\u201d said Friedenberg. \u201cIf everybody gave a little bit, it wouldn\u2019t take long.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
