📅 Auction Length:
The auction will run for 5 days, starting Sunday, March 16th and ending Thursday, March 20th at Midnight.
💰 Bidding Rules:
Minimum Starting Bid: $250 per category (Cat, Large Breed Dog, Small Breed Dog).
Bid Increments: Bids must increase by at least $100.
Unlimited Bidding: Participants can place as many bids as they want throughout the auction.
One Winner Per Household: Even if you’re the highest bidder in more than one category, you can only claim a win in one category. Should you win multiple categories, you will need to choose your preferred category, and the highest bid from a different household will then win in the other category.
🚐 Why This Rule?
This guarantees that three different households get to celebrate seeing their RSR alum on the transport van while maximizing support for our rescue mission!
🏡 Eligibility & Restrictions:
RSR Alumni Only: Your pet must be adopted through Ruff Start Rescue to qualify.
Verified Winners: The highest bidder in each category will be verified to ensure compliance with eligibility requirements.
🎉 Winning & Payment:
The highest bidder in each category (Cat, Large Breed Dog, Small Breed Dog) at auction close will secure a spot on the transport van wrap.
Winners must submit payment at the time of the auction closing. If payment is not received, the second-highest bidder will be contacted.
The pet’s photo used for the wrap must meet RSR’s design and quality standards. A professional photo shoot will be required within 2 weeks of auction close and will be provided by RSR. Must be willing to meet within 1 hour of the RSR Office in Princeton, or be willing to travel to the office for a photoshoot.
Good luck and happy bidding!
🚐 Get ready to see your rescue pet on the road while supporting RSR’s mission! 🐾💙
