Our mission is to actively seek the prevention of births of unwanted puppies and kittens in our community and to vigorously pursue this endeavor until pet over-population no longer exists!


Holly Help invites you to check out the many animals in need of good homes at the Sullivan County Animal Shelter. You can view them by visiting the SCAS's Petfinder Web site by clicking this link:

SCAM WARNING


People who use Holly Help to adopt out pets are advised to be wary about a ploy that scam artists use to get your money on the pretense of being interested in adopting your animals. Check out this Web site for details:

As the advisory notes, most of these e-mailed offers purport to ship pets outside the United States. Remember: If an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Hurricane Katrina (Aug.-Sept. 2005)


The Holly Help Spay Fund was quick in responding to the Food City Convoy Relief Effort. Holly Help rushed its donation of 800 pounds of pet food to aid the animal victims of Hurricane Katrina, along with a check for medical supplies to the Humane Society of the United States, Disaster Relief Fund.

Pet Spay Assistance:

The Holly Help Memorial Spay Fund is always happy to financially assist with the sterilization of community cats and dogs. Holly Help will complete a short application by telephone and a list of participating veterinary clinics will be offered from which to choose. We do not pry into personal financial histories nor do we have any minumim requirements which must be met before we will help an animal. The entire process of setting up an appointment to have a pet spayed takes approximately 10-15 minutes. Call 276-466-5375 for further information!

As of this date, the Holly Help Memorial Spay Fund has paid for in full or subsidized in part, the sterilization surgeries for over 9,805 animals!! Because one unspayed female animal can produce between 50,000 and 350,000 offspring in a 5 year period, our sterilization rate thus far will make a very substantial dent in the over-population rate of cats and dogs in our community.

We have successfully recycled approximately 51 tons of aluminum cans which were generously donated to us by the animal-friendly public! The proceeds were used to pay for the surgeries of these animals. It takes approximately 4000 aluminum cans to pay for the surgery of one animal.


EARLY AGE SPAY/NEUTER IS ADVISED!

Who We Are

The Holly Help Memorial Spay Fund is a Bristol based organization which focuses strictly on subsidizing the spay/neuter surgeries for dogs and cats. We were founded in the Spring of 2001 and are registered with the Bristol, Tenn. courthouse to solicit gifts of aluminum cans in Bristol and the surrounding area. We rely on the money received from recycling aluminum cans to fund our surgeries. We are all volunteers.

As we all know, pet overpopulation in our country is at an all time high. Across the United States, 7 million unwanted animals are put to death each year because of lack of good homes for these pets. Right here in our own community, a weekly average of 100 dogs, cats, puppies and kittens are euthanized in area shelters.

There is only one solution to this problem... surgical sterilization to prevent unwanted litters of puppies and kittens from being born. Holly Help Memorial Spay Fund is committed to this purpose.


Adopting a friend...

is the most wonderful thing you can do. You will have unconditional love and enjoyment for a long time. And a closet full of memories that will last you a life time! Please email us if you are interested in bringing one of these wonderful animals into your heart.

Together we "can recycle" a life!

Items Needed

One man's trash is another man's treasure! We ask that you save your aluminum cans for us. We will, in turn, do all the rest. These cans, which would normally end up in landfills, will be turned into the needed funds used to pay for the spay or neuter surgeries of dogs and cats. As an added bonus, recycling cans will also benefit the planet on which we all must live.

WE ARE ALUMINUM TOO: In addition to soda and beer cans, there are many other cans that are aluminum as well. Not only do we accept aluminum cans, but also scrap aluminum and any items that are made of brass and copper. When trying to determine if an item is aluminum, just remember, a magnet will NOT stick to aluminum. Tin cans such as those that hold corn, beans, carrots, etc. are NOT recyclable. A list of more cans that we have discovered to be aluminum are:

Talk to everyone you know and ask them to start saving cans for us too. The resale price for aluminum is very low so VOLUME is essential to our financial success!

We have several convenient drop off locations for you to deposit your cans at:

NOTE These are currently the ONLY drop off points that we are using for our cans. If you are leaving them elsewhere, please give us a call at 276-466-5375 and we will be happy to help you. Also, to prevent theft of your cans, please try to drop them off during business hours.

PURINA WEIGHT CIRCLES:

Purina Weight Circles, which are found on bags of Purina pet food, are needed badly by our organization. We can turn these circles into cash for spay and neuter surgeries. Please ask everyone you know to clip the weight circles from their pet food bags and mail to:
