Also, there will be a silent auction with all proceeds from the show and the auction to go to the Humane Society for the care and housing of the abandoned pets. We have great animals that are in need of a forever home. The Humane Society does not receive funding from the county or any State agency. We, as many other organizations, are feeling the results of the slow economy. Our funding comes from adoption fees, private donations and from Humane Society members.
There will be memory board on display that night to remember any pet that is not with us anymore. If you would like to have your pet remembered on this board please send a picture, name and brief comments to the Humane Society along with a $5.00 fee. Your pet’s picture will be displayed and remembered, you will get your picture back at the end of the night.
Please come and join us for a great meal and show, while helping the abandoned pets.
Send check or money order to the Montgomery County Humane Society, 1150 Okeewemee Rd. Troy, NC 27371 or call 910-572-2779.
