105 - Auctions for Animals PGH - Supporting Pets Near and Far

In this episode of Toni Unleashed, Toni sits down with Kim Tamburri and Lindsey Perriello, the duo behind Auctions for Animals PGH, a grassroots nonprofit that has raised over $50,000 in just four years for local shelters and international rescues. Kim and Lindsey share the story of how a simple closet clean-out turned into a thriving Facebook auction group that now supports both Pittsburgh-area rescues and the Beach Dog Rescue of Costa Maya in Mexico. From coordinating donations and pick-ups to growing a community of nearly 1,000 members, they talk about the creativity, challenges, and joy that comes with turning everyday items into lifesaving funds. The conversation also highlights their upcoming 3rd Annual Cash Bash, an evening of prizes, games, raffle baskets, and community fun—all benefiting animals in need through both Costa Maya and the Izzy Fund. With stories of street dog rescues, spay/neuter campaigns abroad, and the power of community giving, this episode shows how small ideas can grow into incredible impact for animals. https://theizziefund.org/ https://www.facebook.com/share/g/14HJWj5gLs6/?mibextid=wwXIfr
