Lake Norman Chrysler Jeep Dodge
joins the race to save animals!




Tuesday, March 9th
5:30-7:30pm
Aquesta Bank Headquarters
(19510 Jetton Rd.)
 
Local business owners will be racing to save local animals against NASCAR driver Greg Biffle We invite everyone to come out and cheer for Jack Salzman, owner of Lake Norman Chrysler Jeep Dodge, as he takes Greg on in a race challenge! All proceeds will benefit the Cornelius Animal Shelter. The race will be located at the Aquesta Bank Headquarters in Cornelius.
 
After beginning as a temporary facility made up of a few cages and dog runs covered by tarps and sheltered by straw bales, the Cornelius Animal Shelter has recently opened as a new 3,265-square-foot facility. The new shelter offers a safe, climate-controlled environment for not only the animals but also the volunteers. Today, the shelter and it's 100-plus regular volunteers maintain a euthanasia rate of about 7 percent, while similar public shelters throughout North Carolina maintain a 70-plus percent euthanasia rate. For the majority of 2009, before the new facility opened the shelter averaged about 21 adoptions a month. Now with an extended volunteer force, expanded hours and increased awareness and publicity, the shelter is averaging about 46 adoptions per month. A considerable amount of hard work and monetary/in-kind donations have created the foundation for a truly successful public shelter. The public has, overall, been receptive and supportive, but the job has just begun. The Cornelius Animal Shelter offers opportunities to help in a number of ways.
 
  • Donate or Sponsor - animal wellness program for veterinary care, grooming, and to keep the lights on and the bowls full!
  • Buy a Brick or Magnet - engraved patio bricks are available, as well as car magnets
  • Volunteer - for activities needing to be done regularly at the shelter
  • Foster - many animals do better in a home environment than a shelter, but puppies, animals requiring medication, dogs needing training and animals needing socializing especially need foster homes
  • Shopping - check with your favorite pet stores to see if they donate a percentage of sales to the Cornelius Animal Shelter
  • And of course, ADOPT!!

Big Day at the Lake 2009!

Lake Norman Chrysler Jeep Dodge was proud to once again sponsor Big Day on July 18, 2009. This was the fifth annual Big Day at the Lake, and Lake Norman Chrysler Jeep Dodge has been thrilled to be a sponsor each year.

Big Day at the Lake is a day-long event during which local boat owners take Big Brothers/Big Sisters and their "Littles" out on the lake to experience boating, tubing and other water activities. There is also a cookout, with food donated by local restaurants, and a variety of kids' activities including bouncers, water balloons, bubbles, and contests. As you can see below, Lake Norman Chrysler Jeep Dodge owners Jack & Robin Salzman actively participate in the fun!
