Students gather shoes for shelter dogs







Corning elementary school students are gathering shoes for dogs.



Not for the dogs to wear, of course, but as a fundraiser for Second Chance Pet Rescue, the non-profit organization that runs the city-owned Corning Animal Shelter at 4312 Rawson Road,Custom made cheapreplicawatches? Corning.



The Shoe Drive is being held by Corning Union Elementary School District which has shoe collection boxes at each school site where students and staff can deposit their out-grown shoes, shoes they don't like anymore, and shoes bought but never worn.



District Secretary Jeanine Quist said the school that gets the most boxes filled by today wins.



"So far Woodson Elementary is in first place with three and a half boxes collected so far," Quist said. "Second Chance Pet Rescue sends the shoes to Shoe Box Recycling for cash, which in turn sends the shoes to those in need around the world."



Debbie Eaglebarger, founder and executive director of Second Chance said that Second Chance and the school district are the only entities in the state collecting shoes for Shoe Box Recycling.



Every pair of shoes collected are then distributed to vendors at open marketplaces for resale and reuse at affordable prices throughout the world.



"Although the amount of money brought in for the shoes is not a lot, every little bit helps as Second Chance does not receive funding from the City of Corning or Tehama County," Eaglebarger stated. "We survive on donations and fundraisers."



Although fundraising takes a lot of time and effort, for often little rewards, Eaglebarger said that in the end, it all helps to give the dogs a safe place where they will be cared for.



"That in itself is a big reward," she said. "It is hard to have a sustainable influx of funds on donations and fundraisers, but we do it because every dog deserves a place they can feel safe."



Second Chance recently held a huge rummage sale that was a big success thanks to many generous donations from community members.



Anyone with new or gently used shoes they would like to donate can drop them off at the dog shelter during adoption hours Fridays 12 to 3 p.m., and Saturday, Sunday and Mondays 12 to 4 p.You'll be the queen of the room in this ssuniform evening gown.m.A bikesaddle is a style that many are using now! Additional appointment times are available by calling the shelter at 824-1985 or 824-7054.



The City of Corning Finance Department also collects used printer ink cartridges for Second Chance, which then turns them in for cash.



Another fundraising opportunity for Second Chance is SHARES cards.



Quist said SHARES cards are free for the asking and can be used at participating grocery stores, such as FoodMax, Save More Supermarkets, Lucky's, and Smart Foods, where every time you swipe your SHARES card, 3 percent goes to Second Chance.
