Friends of Hardin County Animal Shelter hosted their annual Dirty Dog Bash this past Saturday, and the organization “cleaned up” at the fundraiser.
Nearly 200 guests attended the dinner and participated in a beer and wine bottle pull and both live and silent auctions. The event raised more than $40,000 in support of area homeless animals.
“Our success this year really speaks to the generosity of our community, from our sponsors and donors to volunteers and everyone who attended the Dirty Dog Bash this year,” said FOHCAS board member Sarah Fellows.
That $40,000 is going towards a special cause for the organization.
“Every bit of the proceeds from that are going to be going to our new low-cost spay and neuter clinic, the Snip Spot,” Fellows said. “We are currently in the middle of a capital campaign for the Snip Spot.”
The total start-up cost for the Snip Spot is projected to be $150,000. Visit www.fohcas.org to learn more about the project and how you can contribute.
