There are many ways you can help SBCHA.

1. Become a volunteer:Volunteers are always needed in many various areas. If you are interested in helping with adoptions, building maintenance, pet education, public relations, fundraising, record keeping, spay/neuter, shelter duties or fostering animals call SBCHA at 684-Kind or e-mail sbcha@hotmail.com.

2. Become a foster home:Because our space is limited at the shelter, SBCHA still relies on foster homes to lend a helping hand. These homes have been invaluable over the years and have helped countless numbers of animals from a probability of suffering a terrible fate..

3. Donate money:Monetary donations are always welcome and go a long way in helping out with monthly expenses. Pay Pal is now available through petfinder.org for those who want this option. Others can contact the organization by calling 684-KIND, e-mailing sbcha@hotmail.com or by letter at P.O. Box 391, Shelbyville, TN 37160. Memorials and honorariums can also be paid at this address. Please include name and address of person for memorial or honorarium card to be sent and from whom.

7. Support organizations that support SBCHA:

Pedigree Foundation Grants
Through the Pedigree Foundation grants are given to those animal organizations whose application qualifies. Each bag of Pedigree dog food that is bought a percentage goes to help animals through the Pedigree Foundation. "The Pedigree Foundation Logo is a trademark of Mars, Incorporated and is used with permission."

SBCHA received contributions from this program in 2009 and 2010 and hopes to in 2011.

Kroger gift card program:

Use a special SBCHA Kroger Gift Card (available at SBCHA only) to do your grocery shopping and Kroger will donate 4% of the recharges to the SBCHA for the animals.

The gift card can be used for anything, including fuel and prescriptions with the exception of services like money orders, Western Union, lottery tickets, hunting and fishing license and Ticket Master. Recharging the card will need to be done before purchasing groceries, but can be done at the register just before purchase. If it is done at another register or the service desk, it will take up to 5 minutes before the card can be used.

Goodsearch:

Search the web with http://www.goodsearch.com/and money from Yahoo advertisers will go to SBCHA without you spending a dime! GoodSearch is a search engine which donates 50-percent of its revenue to the charities and schools designated by its users. It's a simple and compelling concept. You use GoodSearch exactly as you would any other search engine. Because it’s powered by Yahoo!, you get proven search results. The money GoodSearch donates to your cause comes from its advertisers — the users and the organizations do not spend a dime! Every time you search the internet SBCA will receive one penny. This doesn’t seem like a lot, but if 100 people searched twice daily using GoodSearch in a year’s time SBCHA would receive $730, with 1000 people searching twice a day it would generate about $7300 yearly.
