BLUEFIELD, W. Va. -A store in Mercer Mall is showing their support for a local shelter and giving back to others who show their support.
Uncharted Adventure is holding a pet supply drive to support the Mercer County Animal Shelter and the animals they take care of. This includes items like bleach, towel, and blankets. Every supply or monetary donation enters donors into a chance to win a series of prizes, including a 28 inch Blackstone Griddle.
This is all leading up to the final day of the drive on Thursday, December 14th. On that day, the mall will be holding their “Santa Paws” pet pictures event, setting up along with the Mercer County Animal Shelter who will have animals on hand for adoption, with the day’s adoption fees covered by Uncharted Adventures.
Uncharted Adventures and the Mercer Mall encourage you to donate to the shelter and consider taking home a new pet for yourself.
“With the situation with the stray animals and everything, the shelter’s been overrun this year. Several different times they’ve posted that they’ve been out of food requesting food help…” says Candy Terry, general manager of Uncharted Adventures, “…I have a shelter pet at home; I have a couple other rescues at home too, so if you want some of the best love you’ll ever get in this world, adopt a shelter pet… They’ll love you forever.”
“Absolutely…” agrees, Amanda Hill, general manager, Mercer Mall, “Adopt, don’t shop.”
Again, this will be going on until the Santa Paws and adoption event on Thursday. You can find more information on Uncharted Adventures and the Mercer Mall social media pages and on mercermall.org
