Gimme Shelter's Foundation Inc.- Smithfield, VA

Gimme Shelter's Foundation Inc.- Smithfield, VA We are a 501(c)(3) Organization founded in 2010. We started by reselling donated items to benefit the Animals of Isle of Wight County, VA.

Our retail days have ended but the Gimme Shelter's Foundation Inc. will continue this dream. We are no longer in the retail "thrift" business but our Mission continues as Gimme Shelter's Foundation. When our first physical retail location closed as "Gimme Shelter Thrift Shop", we moved into the Hamtown Mercantile as "Gimme Shelter's Attic". On January 5, 2025 we made the transition to "Gimme Shelt

er's Foundation, Inc". Our original mission hasn't changed and we still support the animals of Isle of Wight County and the Isle of Wight County Animal Shelter. DONATIONS - We are still accepting monetary donations to the Foundation as we continue serving the animals of Isle of Wight County. Please contact the Foundation for help by messaging us through this page or by calling Robin Knauth @ 757-334-0738, and we will evaluate how we may be able to help. Since our beginning in 2010 we have helped to save numerous animals, we couldn't have done it without you. Thank you so much for your continued support as we move into a Foundation!

This is the picture that speaks a thousand words. The day that Robin met JJay. Our volunteer Gail had brought him and his sister to Gimme Shelter. It was love at first sight. His sister found her forever home and he found his with Robin and Peter. JJay became the shop mascot and boy did he take his job seriously. He never met someone whose life he didn’t touch. He sure touched all of ours. Was he rescued or did he rescue Robin and Peter and all of us? Anyone who met him knows the very obvious answer to that question. Today is a very hard and surreal day. JJay has traveled across the rainbow bridge. It is the absolute hardest day of having a fur baby as we all know. Our hearts are all so broken for Robin and Peter along with our own. Time marches on weather we want it to or not. So run over that rainbow bridge JJay and look at all that sits before you with no pain and say hi to all those that went before you and took a part of our hearts as you have done. So missed and loved. 💕
