After a 2-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we were overjoyed to be able to start planning our annual pet adoption event once again. It felt so wonderful to get back to meeting with the Humane Society and seeing the community get together - in-person! - to save the lives of pets in need.
A big thank you to all who showed up Saturday, Oct. 1, 2022 for our Pet Adoption event with the CT Humane Society. And to all those who came together to make the event such a HUGE success.
!!!All of the pets found forever homes!!!
12 dogs & 18 cats
Thank you Somers Veterinary Hospital for offering free vet visits to all the adoptive families.
PLUS with the support of the community, we raised over $10,000 for The Humane Society and sent them back to the shelter with a whole van STUFFED with donations for all the pets still in need.
Thank you so much to all our sponsors!
To DiFiore Ravioli Shop - Ellington for feeding all attendees with your delicious, heartwarming dishes, to our generous event host Ellington Agway for helping the event run so smoothly, and to WJMJ Radio's Father John and Steve Savino for all your support.
It was truly an incredible day!
August found her family!
One heartwarming story from our Pet Adoption Event we just had to share.
This sweet girl was the last to be adopted, but she knew she was waiting for her perfect forever family!
This couple drove all the way from their home in Middletown to the CT Humane Society in Newington thinking the event was there, when they realized they were in the wrong place they drove all the way to Ellington Agway.
August was the very last dog to be adopted and it was love at first sight. It was already past 2pm, the event was over at 1pm, she was already crated and back in the van ready to go back to the shelter. It truly brought tears to everybody's eyes. August is such a beautiful dog with a great disposition.
The wonderful people of the Humane Society stayed late to make sure it was the perfect fit and then August was on her way to her forever home!
It was the perfect way to end what was an incredible day.
Thank you so much to all our other sponsors for making this special day a reality!
