Save Meant-to-Rescue shelter sited.
WILLIAMS – The Save Meant-to-Rescue organization (Facebook) has been working to build a holding shelter and is closer to its goal. A site on Frank Way has been selected for the new shelter.
SMTR will lease the property from the city. The facility will hold rescued and found animals until the animals receive a home. The shelter will only release animals to homes with well-fenced in yards after the animals are spade or neutered. They may add chipping at a future date.
Robynn Eckel said that the shelter building is stalled currently due to the water restrictions. They also lack about 1/8 of the funds required so donations are still being gratefully accepted. Donations can be made at various locations in Williams such as Addicted to Route 66 Deals and the Camp Civitan Thrift Store. Donations can also be made through their web site.
You can help add their required piece of eight this Friday. You can change your luck and the life of a dog on Friday the 13th by attending the annual Casino Night fundraiser at the Sultana from 7 pm to 10 pm.
Entry is $20. For the cost of entry you receive $500 worth of chips to play black jack, craps, Texas Hold ‘Em and more. There will be live country entertainment by Half Hitch. You can participate in a silent auction for prizes such as jewelry and a helicopter ride for two over the Grand Canyon. At the end of the night you can buy raffle tickets with your chips for other prizes.
Save Meant-to-Rescue is a non-profit organization and, as such, will continue to need donations after the shelter is built. You will be able to participate in fund raising activities throughout the year, such as their golf tournament.
