The Peppermint Pig Thrift & Gift Raises Hundreds of Dollars from Event to Benefit Safe Haven Animal Sanctuary
Anderson Township, OH — April 30, 2008 — Several dogs and cats were adopted into loving homes during the Peppermint Pig Thrift & Gift’s second anniversary event the week of April 21st. The non-profit thrift store is the primary sponsor of Safe Haven Animal Sanctuary, a no-kill animal shelter, and was able to raise hundreds of dollars for the program throughout the course of the event.
The festivities included a meet-and-greet open house with adoptable pets from Safe Haven Animal Sanctuary, refreshments and photo opportunities with the Peppermint Pig mascot, ‘Peppy.’ Many alumni of Safe Haven Animal Sanctuary even stopped by the event.
“Our second anniversary event turned out greater than we had anticipated,” Peppermint Pig manager Joyce Hutchinson said. “We’re committed to helping Safe Haven find good homes for their animals and raise awareness, and this event was a great opportunity to strengthen our bonds with the community.”
Both the Peppermint Pig and Safe Haven are operated entirely by volunteers. All Proceeds from the sales at the Peppermint Pig Thrift & Gift go towards animal care and the purchase of a brick and mortar facility for the Safe Haven Animal Sanctuary, whose current roster of adoptable pets reside in loving foster care.
