Friends of Clay County Animals has made the hard decision to discontinue the Doggone Easter Egg Hunt.
Many of us are now working on Saturdays and can not make this event work.
Since Covid started in 2020, we have been doing online auctions.

There is an auction going on right now!

We are now going into year 2 of this pandemic and all though many of us going places and doing things, we have decided with the uncertainty of everything that we will not be doing the Doggone Easter Egg Hunt this year either.
With this being said, Friends of Clay County Animals has been plugging along and helping sick and injured animals at the county shelter.
Although, life as we know it has changed, there are even more animals in need.
We have been doing on-line auctions so pleas check out our Online Auction Page for FOCCA -Friends of Clay County Animals for upcoming auctions.

Sadly with the pandemic still going on, we have decided it is in the best interest for everyone's health and safety to cancel the Doggone Easter Egg Hunt until 2022.
We have been doing online auctions and will add the link to the comments.
If anyone has any new items we can use for our auction please send a message.

**CANCELLED- Doggone Easter Egg Hunt**

This annual event takes a LOT of time, hands, planning, donations and attendees. With the ongoing COVID concerns, we are greatly lacking in every area necessary to successfully pull off a fundraiser of this size. So, unfortunately, we have made the very difficult decision to once again cancel our annual Doggone Easter Egg Hunt.

Despite our limited fundraising abilities over the past year, we have never stopped supporting the medically needy homeless animals at our local County shelter (Clay County Animal Services on SR16). Our expenses still currently range anywhere from $4-8/k a month.

To raise those funds, our plan is to continue hosting ONLINE AUCTIONS until further notice. Ideally, we will be starting this back up in early March.

♡DONATIONS NEEDED♡
We are now accepting and would be very grateful for DONATIONS (GIFT CARDS or NEW items of value) for the online auctions. We are an all-volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit. All donations are tax deductible and 100% of proceeds are used to save lives. Please pm us if you or your company would like to help.

It with great sadness that we have had to actually cancel our event. We are looking forward to 2021 for our next hunt. The date is yet to be determined.
Thank you for all your support.
Please check out the Friends of Clay County Animals, Inc. FB page for our on line auctions we are doing to try and recoup some funds.
I have been working on refunds.
Thank you for supporting FOCCA.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce our decision to officially CANCEL our Annual Doggone Easter Egg Hunt.

Since the Egg Hunt is one of our biggest fundraisers and a fun community event, we had hoped to just postpone it until things got back to normal. However, since the future of public events is still so uncertain, we felt it best to just cancel it for this year.

If you are a sponsor, vendor and/or participant and have not heard from us yet, but would like a refund, please email us your info asap: https://www.friendsofclaycountyanimals.org/contact-us

Despite our inability to host large fundraisers, we have continued to financially help the medically needy homeless animals in Clay County.

For those who appreciate numbers, here are a few of our significant bills from Jan-March to give you an idea of our regular/ongoing expenses.

*Patterson - $7,642 (medical supply company who delivers directly to Clay County Animal Services)
*Outside vet bills- $8,016 (CCAS has a vet on staff. This is for other local vet services)
*Rescue donations - $3,600 (donations made to assist rescues who pull medically needy animals from CCAS)
+A recent request (not paid yet) from CCAS for medicine/supplies- $2,400 appx

To raise much needed funds, we will continue to post auction items online. We are also hoping to still have Pints for Pets and Strut Your Mutt, our two other annual fundraisers, later this year (if possible).

In the meantime, if you would like to help us with our ongoing mission to give ALL the medically needy animals who are abandoned at the local County shelter a 2nd chance, you can donate on this post or here: https://www.friendsofclaycountyanimals.org/donate

FOCCA is an all-volunteer advocate group. 100% of your donations are used to save lives in Clay. We are also a 501(c)3, so your donation is tax deductible.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT....especially during this very difficult time!
