FISHERS, Ind. – Whether you’re into committed relationships, or you’re a serial dater, the Humane Society for Hamilton County has the perfect event for all dog lovers. HSHC will be open Wednesday, May 17th from 12-7:00 p.m., a day they are normally closed, for their
Foster Fling event.

The Foster Fling event is designed to pair families with a casual, no strings attached foster dog. Or, if you’re looking for a long-term relationship, HSHC will also offer priceless dog adoptions fit for the hopeless romantic. This exclusive event is crucial to alleviate the
overcrowding felt throughout the shelter.

“Each day we count kennels to see where we can place dogs in our shelter. We have dogs in every cage, every kennel, every visiting room, every office – even in the homes of our staff and volunteers,” said Rebecca Stevens, President and CEO.

HSHC will ask adopters to make a donation – of any amount- at the time of adoption. Canine fosters and adopters should bring all family members as well as any dogs in the home to meet with a potential shelter dog. Those renting properties are recommended to
bring the landlord’s pet policy. All adopters are required to present government-issued ID. All adopted pets are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and have at least one round of age appropriate vaccines.

The mission of the Humane Society for Hamilton County (HSHC) is “Saving Lives. Educating Communities. Completing Families.” HSHC serves as both the animal control facility and Humane Society for Hamilton County, and as such, receives partial funding
(approximately 18%) from Hamilton County to fund the first seven days of an animal’s basic care. The majority of HSHC’s annual operating budget is funded by individual donations and its three annual fundraising events—Wine, Wags & Whiskers, Woofstock,
and Tinsel & Tails. HSHC is one of the only open-admission, truly “No-Kill” organizations in the United States in that it does not euthanize animals for time, space, treatable injuries, illnesses or rehabilitatable behavior issues regardless of age, breed, disability or special needs. HSHC also serves the community with a variety of unique programs like the Survivor Program (which funds the medical care and the rescue of over 800 animals at risk for euthanasia in other Indiana shelters this year) and Pets Healing Vets
(www.PetsHealingVets.com), which pairs Hoosier veterans suffering from PTSD/TBI with emotional support pets at no cost to the veteran. 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. For more information visit www.HamiltonHumane.com.
