FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – Does your company love animals and want to make a difference? The Humane Society of Broward County would like to introduce you to five programs to get you and your company involved…and you may just find your next furry family member at the same time.
Pawsitive Service Day is for adult groups of 10 – 25 people to volunteer at the shelter on a weekday 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. The day includes a presentation, tour, working with the dogs and cats and an overview of the annual Walk for the Animals. The cost is $25 per person. Contact Darlene at 954-266-6848 or dfeldman@hsbroward.com to book your service day or for more details.
Shelter Pets Come to You during an HSBC snuggle delivery! This is exactly what it sounds like. Not everyone can reap the benefits of snuggling with puppies and kittens so we came up with the idea to bring the adoptable little ones to you at your workplace. You can schedule our furry friends for a snuggle delivery for a minimum donation of $500 to the shelter. For more details visit humanebroward.com and visit the “Services” tab.
Yappy Hour at the HSBC is a new program that enables businesses to bring their employees to the shelter for a night of fun and a chance to help out the homeless animals. Yappy hour is for groups of 10 or more (maximum 100) that would like to come and join us on a weekday from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. for wine, beer and cheese along with a tour, puppy/kitty snuggle and making toys for the homeless animals. The cost is $35.00 per person. Contact Katie at 954-266-6875 with any questions or learn more under the “Get Involved” tab on the website.
Office Cats are ready to move in. This unique program allows offices and small businesses in South Florida to essentially act as cat adoption counselors and foster a cat until they find it a new home. The HSBC will match your business with a cat that will interact well with your employees, customers, and office environment. The shelter provides food, litter box, bed, toys, veterinary care and other supplies. The employees provide the TLC. Interested? Email officecat@hsbroward.com
Join a Pack…the Walk for the Animals is the shelter’s largest annual fundraiser and you and your coworkers can join together to make a team or “pack” and raise funds and awareness for the animals. The walk is March 5, 2016 and to learn more visit www.humanebroward.com and go to “Get Involved” to sign up.
