THE BIG MOVE

Everyone is asking where we are moving to and to be honest right now its in Gods hands. The location we are in now was never meant to be permanent, and I had no idea our concept would be so well received. After rescuing over 1600 animals in less then 2 years, I find myself stressing to find a new location for RePets. My dream of have a pet shop has been fulfilled. My desire to rescue animals has become a passion and a found talent I didn't know I had. Now I must dream bigger in order to keep up with how fast RePets is growing. My new dream is to purchase a "RePets HUB" in Bowling Green because our community has proven to be very supportive of animal shelters and rescues. This hub will be our intake fasility. We will continue to rescue good animals from shelters that are about to be euthanized and after they are prepared for adoption, we will transport them to our "Mini RePets" that we will open in smaller towns. This should help smaller community's with animal spay/neuter education, adoptions, and awareness. Cross your Fingers and Paws that this dream will also become a reality.
Anything we do is going to cost money and we only have till February to find a place to move, remodel, and settle in. This is very scary, and I have the weight of those animals future on my shoulders. After heavy thought and a lot of prayers, I was blessed with some wisdom. It came to me that people want to help, they hate that animals are in shelters and they want to do something about it, but money is tight for everyone these days so its only logical that we open a Thrift store benefiting RePets. this way our community can still help with our rescue efforts and it not cost a lot of money to do it. Every one has junk laying around they don't want, and it feels good to help a charity, so how cool is it that people can donate the stuff they don't want any more and save shelter animals at the same time costing them NO MONEY! Plus look what we are offering the community. A place to by good at a fraction of the cost and again saving shelter animals at the same time!

Our plan is to rent the old D&B Music store and turn it in to the Thrift Store benefiting RePets Animal Rescue. With the money made at the Thrift store we can save for a down payment to purchase a building. This will give us the freedom to rescue with out land lord restrictions.

Plan B if we are unable to raise the down payment or we are unable to find a place to purchase, then we will move the Thrift store in February and move RePets to the D&B spot till we find a place to purchase. Its a lot of work and we will need a lot of help, but its all worth it for the homeless animals. There is nothing more rewarding then seeing a happy tail leaving our adoption center with its new parents then getting a update Email telling us how happy they are.
