Dog Day Afternoon 2011
We are very excited to announce that this year the Humane Society for Hamilton County is combining two of its biggest events - Dog Day Afternoon and Woofstock!
Dog Day Afternoon will be a day full of shopping, entertainment, contests, and family fun! We will have live bands playing throughout the day. We will also be hitting the trails for a dog walk and announcing the winners of the "Parade of Paws!"
In true "Woofstock" style, we will also have a Woofstock stage with live bands playing all day! Bring a blanket, relax and take in some great music!
Check out our opening ceremony "Paws and Remember" - a tribute to those who serve our country, which will include Kaiser - a dog who served on Ground Zero.
When:
Sunday, September 11th
11 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Where:
Carmel Civic Square
(Courthouse Area by
Fountains, Lawn)
Who:
Everyone! Entertainment, shopping and activities are targeted at all members of your family - from toddlers to adults...and of course, the furry, four-legged ones!
Why: To celebrate the bond between pets and their families, and support the Humane Society for Hamilton County!

We are asking for a $5 donation to HSHC at registration per adult attending (kids under 18 and dogs enter free!)
About the Humane Society for Hamilton County
The Humane Society for Hamilton County (HSHC) is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) charitable organization. It is not a United Way Agency, and is not affiliated with any other animal welfare group in the United States. The HSHC also serves as the animal control facility for Hamilton County, and, as such, receives partial funding from Hamilton County. The majority of the HSHC budget is funded by private donors.
The HSHC will not euthanize animals for space and time, and will treat sick and injured animals if there’s an outlook for recovery and a high quality of life. Many animals are hit-by-car injured, heartworm-positive, malnourished, or otherwise wounded and/or sick. The HSHC will provide most of these animals with life-saving treatments, surgeries and medications as their best chance for a second chance and until they are re-homed.
What Your Donations Mean:
a $50 feeds our animals for two days.
a $100 disinfects the shelter for one week.
a $250 vaccinates 10 dogs or cats.
a $300 saves the life of a heartworm-positive dog.
a $500 spays or neuters 14 dogs or cats.
a $1,000 will shelter 20 animals and operate the facility for one week.
a $2,500 treats a hit-by-car injured dog or cat in need of
orthopedic surgery.
a $4,500 pays the shelter’s electric bill for one month.
Saving Lives. Educating Communities. Completing Families.

Leota is a kitten who arrived to us with congenital eye defects requiring surgery. She had the surgery and is now recovering in a foster home while waiting to get adopted. Every life is precious at HSHC!
