ACTion Programs for Animals (APA) is continuing its online auctions to benefit the nonprofit animal rescue organization.
“We have 250 items and counting on this holiday auction, with the first block dedicated to some Christmas items,” said Cassandra Lockwood, manager at Second Chance Thrift Store, which is teaming up with Mesilla Valley Estate Sales for two auction blocks: Nov. 24-Dec. 1 and Dec. 1-8.
Anyone interested in bidding on items in either or both blocks can visit https://nmestateauctions.com/.
All proceeds from the auction will benefit APA, which is a progressive animal welfare organization seeking to improve the quality of life for companion animals in Doña Ana County and greatly reduce the number of unwanted animals impounded and euthanized at the municipal shelter, APA said in a news release.
APA Executive Director Michel Meunier said all earnings from the Second Chance Thrift Store directly benefit ACTion Programs for Animals.
“Second Chance Thrift Store’s success helps APA save more at-risk cats and dogs from the municipal shelter and community,” said Meunier, who also oversees the Second Chance Thrift Store. “We are proud of the success the store has had in its short time of existence in Las Cruces, amidst a pandemic, no less.”
For questions about the auction, call the APA Second Chance Thrift Store at 575-888-4882.
