WALLA WALLA - Twenty-four pets, including 12 cats and 12 dogs, went to loving homes during the Blue Mountain Humane Society's Adoption Event at Walla Walla Toyota on Sunday, September 14.
Everyone who drove into the busy Toyota dealership was greeted with barks and smiles. The event is made possible with the support of Walla Walla Toyota, which hosts the adoption event, and media sponsor Elkhorn Media Group. Generous private and community sponsors covered adoption fees for many of the dogs and cats at the event.
"We are incredibly grateful to our partners, volunteers, staff, and community members who made this event such a success," said BMHS CEO Dian Ver Valen. "Every adoption not only changes the life of a pet, it opens space in our shelter to help the next animal in need."
The Humane Society is committed to introducing available pets to their potential forever families, including at events hosted by PetSmart at 1630 W. Poplar St. in Walla Walla. Upcoming dates at PetSmart are September 27 and 28, and October 25 and 26. At the events, BMHS offers special pricing of $50 for cats and $100 for dogs.
The Bissell Pet Foundation is collaborating with BMHS on its "Empty the Shelters" event, taking place from October 1 through 15 at the shelter. Adoption fees during this event will be reduced for many of the pets, thanks to the foundation.
On October 18, the Blue Mountain Humane Society is hosting its annual Fall Furr Ball at the Marcus Whitman Hotel. This event brings together animal welfare advocates, community leaders, and supporters for an evening that includes dinner, entertainment, and auctions to benefit animals in need. Each year, the Furr Ball raises critical funds for the Blue Mountain Humane Society for shelter, medical care, and adoption services for countless pets.
