AMS helps the animals

Two weekends Ago our local VW shop www.dubwerks.com partnered up with the Naperville AreaHumane society (www.napervillehumanesociety.org) to hold a fundraiser and BBQ for the Tenants of the Naperville Humane Society.

Companies like AMS donated Product and services to the cause to be raffled off. Visitors to the event would recieve raffle tickets of there liking based on the size of there donation.

The results were amazing. We literally filled the AMS Van (A-Team Van) floor to ceiling with supplies for the shelter. In the 30 years the shelter has been open this is the largest Non monetary donation in its history.

you can view more about the event here

Here are just some pics of the van before and after

Durring the supply drive


and right before we left

It took me nearly an hour to unload that van completely. It was well worth it

Good job guys.
Giving back to the community and helping the defenseless animals. I've always said if I had the money I'd start a no kill animal shelter. The only problem is I would end up with like 50 dogs as pets.

WTF is all the laundry soap for? Can that be used as dog shampoo? I might be able to save a few bucks if so....



It is great to see that. We had similar down here after hurricane Katrina. People donated like crazy to help the displaced pets. They had a whole stadium converted to a giant animal shelter.

the detergent and bleach is for cleaning the shelter. As im sure you can imagine a shelter full of 20 plus dogs and 30 plus cats at any given moment can get pretty dirty.
