Animal shelter plans grand-opening celebration
Press release from Butler County:
The Animal Friends Humane Society (AFHS) will host a ribbon cutting and day-long celebration August 22 to mark the grand opening of the county’s new animal shelter. The event will run from 11 A.M. to 8 P.M. at the new AFHS facility at 1820 Princeton Road, Hamilton, Ohio.
The celebration, which is open to the whole community, will have a number of exciting events and activities to introduce you and your family to AFHS’s new facility.
The ribbon cutting ceremony starts at 11 A.M. and will feature county dignitaries and a host of four-legged friends. Special events will occur throughout the day including tours of the shelter. AFHS will be open from noon to 4:30 P.M. the day of the grand opening with both dogs and cats looking for new homes.
Listen for live broadcasts from The Rebel 105.9 FM from 10 A.M. - 1 P.M. After the day festivities, the evening will continue with “Girls Night Out.” More than 30 vendors will be on hand so women can shop and be entertained. Food, prizes, and raffles, which include numerous door prizes including a FAUX fur coat from Donna Salyers and a Dooney & Bourke Wristlet, will be available! This will be a great opportunity to have time with the girls and shop without the guilt, since all proceeds benefit the shelter! No reservations are necessary!

It’s about time! This completed project is long long overdue! Absolutely ridiculous! Bless the animals and their caretakers. “A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast”

I hope the workers are friendlier. They sure were hateful at the old location.
