Dogtoberfest

October is National Adopt-A-Dog month. To commemorate, Animal Haven is sponsoring "Dogtoberfest", an adopt-a-thon this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, (Oct. 23-25) at their shelter located in Merriam, KS. The hours of adoption are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Animal Haven, a non-profit organization, is Kansas City’s largest no-kill shelter and is currently busting at its seams with well over 400 adoptable pets available. Potential pet owners are invited to the shelter to meet these loveable animals in need of good homes.

Adoptions fees for this event are just $25 for cats and $50 for dogs. Additionally, Animal Haven will gladly welcome the following donations at the event to help keep their costs down and the animals well cared for.

• Cat litter (not scoopable).
• Dog collars and leashes of all sizes.
• Dog chews and treats.
• Bleach.
• Paper towels.
• Bath towels.
• Copy paper (white or color).
• Cardboard soda or beer flats.
• 55-gallon garbage bags.
• Hand soap.
• Hand sanitizer.

KC PetConnect is a strong supporter of Animal Haven and their on-going quest for animal welfare.  "Dogtoberfest" is an outstanding undertaking which the community greatly benefits from; we salute them.

So mark your calendar for October 23rd, 24th and 25th. Tell your friends, pack up a small donation and come on by… you just might find your new best friend!
