Love is in the Air at Shelter Sweetheart Week!

What:  The Humane Society of Harrisburg Area (HSHA) believes that true Valentine’s Day sweethearts have fur and more than two legs. That’s why community members are invited to find their true love during HSHA’s annual Shelter Sweetheart Week. During the event, the adoption fees of some of our most lovable residents will be cut in half.  Our adoption fees include spay/neuter surgery, microchip and basic vaccines!

Who:  The mission of HSHA is to build a better community for pets and people through compassion, protection, education and collaboration.  The organization accepts homeless animals regardless of their breed, age, medical condition or behavioral condition and takes in thousands of homeless animals each year.

Why: We encourage everyone who has been thinking about adopting a furry friend to consider celebrating Valentine’s Day with the unconditional love of a new pet.

Who should attend:  Any individual or family looking for a new furry family member this Valentine’s Day season.

When:   Monday, February 14th thru Saturday, February 19th.

The Humane Society of Harrisburg Area is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building a better community for pets and people through compassion, protection, education and collaboration.  HSHA accepts homeless animals regardless of their breed, age, medical condition, or behavioral condition.  However, HSHA does not euthanize adoptable animals due to lack of space or length of stay.  The shelter assists over 10,000 animals a year through its residential care and adoption program, low-cost veterinary clinics and Veterinary Resource Center, pet food programs, and counseling services.  Learn more at humanesocietyhbg.org.
