EuroLux Antiques is now Contributing Monthly to Help Homeless Pets!
EuroLux Antiques has a soft spot for fuzzy babies, and we only wish we could give all homeless pets a home. For nearly 20 years, most of our pets
have come from Pets, Inc. in West Columbia, South Carolina. (The two that didn't were strays rescued off the street by us!)
Pets, Inc. is a non-profit, no-kill animal shelter. Since beginning operations around 1992, Pets, Inc has rescued more
than 30,000 homeless pets and has been instrumental in spaying and neutering over 36,000 pets. Pets, Inc. receives no government funding for its operations and depends
solely on contributions from concerned pet lovers. Since we cannot take all pets in and give them a home, we can help financially. We now contribute monthly to Pets, Inc and plan to increase our
contributions as sales allow. Every dollar contributed goes to help spay or neuter animals and provide food and shelter.
If you love pets as much as we do at EuroLux Antiques,
please consider donating directly to them from the link on our website or pay their website a visit by clicking on the image below. Thanks for your help!

EuroLux Antiques Shares Entrepreneurial Spirit With Graduate Students at the University of South Carolina Moore School of Business
Aimee Talbot (MIBS ’01) and husband Greg Talbot (BS ’92, JD/MIBS ’98) are the owners of EuroLux Antiques in Newberry, South Carolina.
The Talbots’ interest in antiques grew out of a weekend hobby - shopping antique stores to furnish a newlywed apartment while living in Germany,
where Greg worked for the American company Terex. They "fell in love" with European antiques and began to consider the idea that fellow Americans
might enjoy them, too.
