Hello Elizabethton: A Purr-fect Weekend Ahead!
This weekend, the beloved Elizabethton-Carter County Animal Shelter is rolling out the red carpet for animal lovers with two exciting events that promise to support our furry friends in their quest for forever homes!
Adoption Event: Furry Friends Await!
Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 12, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. because this is the day when you can adopt your new best friend for just $25! Yes, you heard it right! All animals will be available at this discounted fee during the event, making it the perfect chance to bring a wagging tail or a soft purr into your family.
Not only will you be able to find a lovely companion, but there’s also going to be a special guest: the Easter Bunny is hopping over for photos! So bring along your kids and pets to capture some adorable moments. How cool is that? Imagine your little ones beaming with joy as they pose with their new furry siblings and the Easter Bunny. It’s a day for fun, laughter, and heartwarming memories!
Why This Event Matters
The director of the animal shelter has emphasized how crucial this event is for community engagement and animal welfare. When more animals find loving homes, it allows the shelter to step up and help even more fur babies in need. It’s a win-win situation for the community and our four-legged pals!
Remember, if you’re considering adopting an animal that isn’t already spayed or neutered, a veterinary reference will be required before completing the adoption. This ensures that every pet finds the healthiest and happiest home possible.
Join the Fun: 5K Run on Sunday!
The excitement doesn’t stop on Saturday! On Sunday, April 13, lace up your running shoes for a 5K run organized by the Friends of the Elizabethton-Carter County Animal Shelter. This fun event aims to raise funds for a spay-neuter clinic right at the shelter! Not only will you get your heart pumping, but you’ll also be contributing to a great cause that helps control the pet population and keeps our community healthy.
Whether you’re an avid runner or just looking for an enjoyable way to spend your Sunday morning, this 5K run is a fantastic opportunity to get active and support the furry friends in your area. Bring your family and friends along for a fun time outdoors!
Event Location and More Information
Both events will take place at the Elizabethton-Carter County Animal Shelter, conveniently located at 253 Sycamore Shoals Drive in Elizabethton, Tennessee. If you have any questions or need more details, don’t hesitate to reach out by calling 423-547-6359.
