Seekonk Save A Pet Society Celebrates 30 Years! Annual auction raises funds for homeless animals

Seekonk, MA – Seekonk Save A Pet Society held its 30th annual auction to benefit the Seekonk Animal Shelter recently at the Ramada Inn in Seekonk and was the most successful ever!! We had a fantastic turnout of friends and supporters to help celebrate 30 years of happy and successful adoptions. We had some huge overbids on items… and we mean overbids…$5,000 on a treasure chest filled with rum and lottery tickets, $1,000 on a grooming gift certificate at Canine Corner and $250 on bird seed. And, those are just a few!
A sincere “thank you” to all of our donors, bidders, auctioneers, our Platinum sponsor - Herb Chambers Honda of Seekonk and Silver sponsor - Bank Rhode Island.
