Welcome to the silent auction site for Friends of the Shelter's Celebrating Shelter Pups online auction fundraiser benefiting the sick and injured dogs of the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center 

Online auction runs from Wednesday, March 3, at 8:00 a.m. through Sunday, March 7, at 5:00 p.m.

Visit our Facebook page for more details at https://www.facebook.com/4thedogsFOTS/

Friends of the Shelter is an all-volunteer, 501c3 non-profit that funds the medical care for sick and injured dogs at the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center.  Each year, our volunteers organize events to raise the money for this care, which exceeded $200,000 last year.  While the pandemic has made it much more difficult for all charities—including Friends of the Shelter—to fundraise, it hasn’t stopped the need.

Check out our great auctions!

You’ll see photos and descriptions below of the great auction and raffle items. As we did previously for our other events like PupArt and 5K for K9s, we’re using mobile bidding with ClickBid.   Register to bid now, so you'll be ready to bid when the auction starts. Please note that if you set up an account for a previous event, your account should still be active (including the bidder number), but you may need to re-enter your credit card information.

The opening bid is listed on the item. You can place a bid or you can set a maximum bid so that the auction software will bid for you throughout the week up to your maximum bid. You’ll receive notifications when you’ve been outbid, and you can increase your bid if you wish.

After the auction ends

When the auctions end, you can either check out yourself or we will run the credit card you used for registration for any unpaid items later that day or the next day.  If you check out yourself, you can choose to use the credit card you used for registration or another online payment option—Apple Pay, Venmo (mobile only), or PayPal.

We will be in touch with you after the event to arrange for contact-less pickup or drop off. If you’re out of the central Ohio area, we can ship most of the items, if desired, at your cost.  Exclusions from shipping include any items over 24” and fragile items. Thank you again for supporting Friends of the Shelter and helping fund the medical care of the shelter dogs.
