Open House & Trail Opening
Written By: David Stroud - Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society | Issue: July 2024
Everyone (and their pets) is invited to the CH Humane Society’s Open House gala and the opening of Misty’s Trail – Saturday, July 13.
On Saturday, July 13, from Noon to 3:00 P.M., the Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society is celebrating our annual Open House and the 37th anniversary of our founding!
The event is family-friendly and pet-friendly. That’s right, bring the kids and bring the pets for a day of fun-filled activities, including: a low-cost rabies vaccination clinic and free nail trim for pets; lunch and refreshments; music; pet portraits by Marty Boone; games and face painting for kids; raffle prizes and much more!
A very special event will kick off the Open House promptly at noon with a grand opening and one of our famous “ribbon-chewings.”
Saturday, July 13, also marks the official opening of Misty’s Trail, a beautiful path in the woods on our 10-acre campus for our beloved dog walking volunteers. Our dog walkers will also get a new name that day.
Formerly known as the CHHS Hikers for Hounds, on July 13 we will debut new shirts for all of our volunteer dog walkers with our new group name – Gary’s Hikers for Hounds. The new name pays tribute to Captain Gary Maddox, the President of our Board of Directors and avid shelter dog walker, who passed away earlier this year.
The Open House will feature tours of our campus, the CHHS Canine Adoption Center, the CHHS Feline Adoption & Animal Care Center, the H.E.A.R.T. of North Carolina rescue vehicle, and a sneak peek of what we have in store for our shelter pets in the next year. Come share in the celebration of our lifesaving work that has saved the lives of thousands of abandoned, abused and neglected animals in our community over the past 37 years.
