Auction helps animals

An online auction continuing through Aug. 25 will raise money to assist the pets of homeless people in the area.

“Project Connect for Pets” is giving 100 percent of the proceeds from the auction to provide exams, vaccines, blood-work, de-wormer, medications, spays, neuters and other surgeries for pets of people who are low-income, homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Project Connect is an annual day of service and assistance to area homeless and low-income residents. This year’s event takes place Sept. 13 at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center in Redmond. Veterinary assistance will be available in addition to the dozens of services and help for people in need.

The online auction includes dining gift certificates, spa treatments, jewelry, vacation packages and more. To participate, visit biddingforgood.com/pcp2014.
