diamonds in the ruff

A hidden gem…Dakin’s Diamonds in the Ruff Thrift Shoppe brought in $23,911.73 in 2011!  The thrift shop carries beautiful household gift items.  In addition, a variety of pet supplies can be found including crates, beds, doggie coats, leashes, collars.  Some items are gently used and some new.  Our thrift shop is all volunteer run, so every penny of that $23,911.73 goes to help animals.  We are so grateful to Karen and Pearl, our mother and daughter duo who share their time and talent to make Diamonds in the Ruff so wonderful! 

A special congratulations to Pearl and her husband who celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary this week.

From all of us at Dakin…two-legged and four…congratulations.

Dakin's thrift shop had its grand opening on Sunday, November 1, 2009 thanks to the hard work of two of our volunteers Karen Patino & Pearl Patino.  Thank you!

We have everything ranging from teacups and saucers to paperback books to supplies for your newly adopted companion.  And we couldn't have done it without the generosity of the many people in our community who donated items they no longer wanted or needed.  Thank you!

Stop in anytime during our normal hours, browse our shop, find something to add to your home, and support the animals and programs of Dakin at the same time.  All proceeds from our thrift shop sales directly benefit animals.
