For the Animals

For the Animals

dogsCindy Dezern, a local animal advocate, is looking for community support in hopes of starting a no-kill shelter for cats and dogs in Kernersville.
Dezern explained that she is planning to start small as she works to gain a non-profit 501(c)3 status.
“On Facebook, I have a model of a state of the art facility,” she said, noting that it was built in another county. “The community came together to help build it with no debt. Something like this would put Kernersville on the map for animals.”
Dezern works as a rescue for cats and dogs at the Carolina Veterinary Assistance and Adoption Group in Reidsville.
“We go around to high kill shelters in the surrounding counties and rescue animals on death row. We then take them out to adoption events at PetSmart to try to get them to a safe home,” she shared. “There is nothing like taking a shy dog that has been abused and seeing them wag their tail for the first time or lick your hand. When they get matched up with a perfect family, and they send you pictures, there is nothing like it.”
As a rescue worker, Dezern said she really listens to her customers.
“I really listen to my customers when they tell me about their past experiences,” she said. “I want to use the feedback from some of their experiences when building the procedures and policies, and I want to make the shelter both people and animal friendly.”
In making the shelter user friendly for both parties, Dezern hopes to make the adoption process easier, while also ensuring that both the animal and pet parent(s) are a good fit for each other. She also hopes to offer fostering through the shelter.
Currently working on earning her master’s degree in social work, Dezern feels she is good at assessing people when it comes to looking at whether they would be a good fit for a certain animal.
“I also think it will help me to work with pet parents on certain issues they might be having, so they can work them out,” she said, when referring to possible issues pet parents might run into when adopting a new cat or dog.
Dezern shared that her love for animals began at an early age.
“I was born on a huge farm in southern Virginia with lots of animals. When I got into rescue, I began to see the huge need,” she said. “I also know the joy, passion and therapy I have received from my two dogs, Junior and Sierra.”
Dezern said she feels it is time to put the animals first.
“I want animals to be the number one priority in this project,” she said. “There is a need because millions of animals are being slaughtered every year and because of the inhumane practices in shelters.”
One business Dezern said has committed in helping her with the venture is SEO Rockets – Search Engine Optimization.
“They are helping me build social media accounts and a website,” she said.
As for the need for building the no-kill shelter, Dezern said she is looking for people interested in helping in anyway, whether volunteering, fundraising, donating, or anything.
“We need more business and community support,” she said. “I want to get people together to see what we can do. I want this to be Kernersville’s community shelter.”
Dezern has started a group page on Facebook, Project “No-Kill” Shelter of Kernersville, where she invites people to join and share both suggestions and comments.
