The DeKalb Animal Coalition is having a “Motors for Mutts” car show and Open House Saturday, June 11 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the shelter located at 186 Transfer Station Road behind Tenneco Automotive in Smithville. No registration fee is required but donations are welcomed.
Dogs and cats will be available for adoption at special discounts during the event.
Shelter Director Emily Bennett said “Motors for Mutts” will feature old, classic, and new cars.
“This Saturday is our car show “Motors for Mutts” at the DeKalb Animal Shelter from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. We will also have an Open House. Come by and take a walk through especially if you have never been to our shelter. See our new flooring and new additions and other things we have improved on. We will have an adoption event. We will reduce prices on all adoptions that day. All adoption fees for dogs will be reduced to $60 and $40 for cats. We have lots of dogs, cats, and kittens so we would love to get them adopted that day. Slick Pig Barbeque will be here at 10 a.m. We will also have coffee and doughnuts. The Alexandria Café will provide the coffee. A Best in Show Award will be presented at the end of the car show and The Male Room Brotique is providing a $100 gift card for the winner of that. Short Mountain Diesel is also sponsoring two pets including a cat and dog so they will pay for the entire adoption fee that day for those two pets,” said Bennett.
Meanwhile the Friends of the DeKalb Animal Shelter will be presenting “Tee Up For Tails” in partnership with the Smithville Golf Course on Friday, June 24. Signups begin at 4 p.m. with a shotgun start at 5 p.m. The entry fee is $40 per player.
Two-man scramble teams will be drawn for pair. Gather all your pals and come out and golf for a great cause and compete for 1st and 2nd payout. Limited to 40 players. Pre-register by calling the golf course. Refreshments will be available.
