Like many small businesses and non-profit organizations, Til the End of Time Animal Sanctuary in Appomattox has been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The shelter is in desperate need of donations due the vastly increased number of animals that have been dropped off there, according to Laurie Walsh, the shelter’s owner and president.

Til the End of Time Animal Sanctuary has been serving the community of Appomattox for more than eight years. Since the COVID-19 virus prompted various government-mandated closings and restrictions, the shelter’s donations have decreased by 75 percent due to people losing jobs or their hours being cut. The people affected have often been forced to make budget and other life changes.
