I just received a newsletter from the Humane Society of Delaware County (HSDC), since we adopted our dog, Ty, from there. I’m not sure how often the newsletters go out; I don’t remember getting one in a while. I immediately saw an advertisement for the Mutt March 2010 – a 5K walk to help support the animals of HSDC. Just like the Rescue Run event, you are expected to ask for pledges before participating, but I don’t see a minimum required to participate. It has raised over $30,000 since it first started, but has never had more than 50 walkers in one year, so if you’re in the area, join them to break their record! The walk takes place May 22, 2010 so it doesn’t conflict with the Rescue Run. The time is between 9am and 1pm, and it begins/ends at the HSDC at 4920 OH 37 E, Delaware, OH 43015.
Adopt-a-Thon and Reunion
HSDC’s third Adopt-a-Thon is a 30 hour event with a goal of finding homes for 30 animals. HSDC will remain open for the entire time, from 10am May 22 to 4pm May 23rd. They will also have an Adoption Reunion on May 22. If you’ve adopted a pet from HSDC bring him/her by between 10am and 1pm for a reunion. Enjoy games, food, and entertainment.
News & Tips
The newsletter contains several great articles, stories, and tips about the goings-on at the Humane Society. For example, there are some great tips for dealing with warm weather with your pets, and tips when traveling with pets.
