"The auction is a great opportunity to findthe perfect gift for that hard-to-please someone on your Christmas list, while supporting a worthy cause at the same time," said Manuel Bailey, humane society president. "We desperately need a new facility to house our puppies and dogs and hope this auction will put us a little further down the road." He went on to encourage local residents to attend the auction and help the society make life better for the unwanted animals in Wilkes County. "It's going to take all of us working together to build a new shelter." In addition to fund-raisers, the humane society is also seeking grant monies as well as donations from the private and corporate sectors to fund the new shelter.
