VHS to Celebrate 60th Anniversary with Free Ice Cream Social

0

The Vanderburgh Humane Society is celebrating 60 years of serving the pets & people of our community with an Ice Cream Social, sponsored by Nomad Technology Group and Pet Supplies Plus! Saturday, June 24th, 2017 from 11:00-4:00, the public can enjoy free ice cream, hot dogs, kids’ activities, and behind-the-scenes shelter tours on the VHS campus.

The entire event is FREE to the public! The event will be held indoor/outdoor, rain or shine, and has public restrooms and wheelchair accessibility in most areas. Kids and leashed pets are welcome!

This summer happens to also be the VHS Low-Cost Spay & Neuter Clinic’s 10th birthday, and Cardio for Canines’ FIRST birthday! The public will not want to miss this party.

The VHS is the Tri-State’s largest animal welfare agency, serving more than 10,000 animals in three states every single year. But there are still people who don’t know about their lifesaving programs. Who have never even been to their “new” facility, built in 2004. There are many who don’t know about the services they offer, or what they do every day. This is the perfect chance to get to know the VHS! Ask questions, and learn about the past 60 years AND what the future holds.

Door prizes will be awarded. “2K Fetch” tickets are available for purchase for $10 each. Every ticket corresponds to one of 250 numbered tennis balls, one of which will be “fetched” by a shelter dog during the event. Purchase as many tickets as you’d like for your chance to win $500!

All Departments including Adoptions and the Happy Tails Resale Shop will be open!

Corporate sponsorships are still available for a limited time! Email a.coburn@vhslifesaver.org or call (812) 426-2563 x 218 for information.
