Shop To Save Homeless Pets

 During Pal’s 12th Annual Online Auction August 5-8

Palmetto Animal League is giving people the power to rescue homeless pets during their most important fundraiser of the year. The Bid for PAL Online Auction will occur Thursday, August 5 at 8 am through Sunday, August 8 at 8 pm. It’s a must-see virtual experience for those who love shopping almost as much as they love animals!

“As we re-emerge from this pandemic, PAL’s online auction is a fun and impactful way for people to help animals and learn about local businesses that support animal rescue,” says PAL President Amy Campanini.

People can bid on various items and gift certificates from popular restaurants, shops, and service providers. Each item in the auction represents life-saving support for PAL’s compassionate, no kill rescue programs.

“When you go online to browse and bid on the wonderful items featured in our online catalog, you are saving an animal just as sure as if you were wrapping your arms around them yourself,” explains Campanini. “Your participation in this fundraiser means life for a pet waiting for rescue.”

Bid for PAL showcases some of the most sought-after products and services our area has to offer. With just the click of a few keys, folks can find themselves relaxing in Bluffton, dining in Beaufort, wine tasting in Hilton Head, or shopping in Savannah!

“After the auction, you can pick up the items you win at PAL and visit with the adoptable animals you are helping,” says PAL Development Coordinator Stephanie Bashaw.

From golf rounds at renowned clubs to restaurant certificates, travel getaways, clothing, jewelry, home decor, and more, PAL’s online Auction has something for everyone.

“If you don’t want to shop for yourself but still want to help, you can bid on essential equipment for the PAL Adoption Center that will help animals for years to come,” explains Bashaw. “We also offer animal sponsorships where you can sponsor a special needs pet, a hospice pet, or even a freedom flight saving dozens of animals at once!”

PAL recommends browsing now so when the auction goes live, community members can stake their claim on some of the most popular items donated by big-hearted Lowcountry businesses.

“We love that bidders get to see the small businesses that are supporting animal rescue, even while times are tough, so they can feel good about patronizing these companies in the future,” says Bashaw.

The Bid for PAL Online Auction goes live on August 5 at www.PALauction.org. Let your heart do the bidding, and shop with the satisfaction of knowing that you are saving animals in need of rescue.
