Humane Society Calumet Area (HSCA) will extend its hours for an entire weekend with adoption fees waived Friday, August 29 through Sunday, August 31 as part of the 2014 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge.
The adoption special is open to the public and the event takes place with extended hours from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the shelter located at 421 45th St, Munster, Ind.
All adoptions require an approved application and all standard adoption procedures apply. Puppies and some kittens are excluded. Additional fees—including a $25 rabies vaccination fee—may apply.
The 2014 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge is a nationwide competition for animal shelters (and their communities) aimed at getting more animals adopted or returned to their owners than ever before. As a contestant in the challenge, HSCA is competing for a chance at more than $600,000 in grant funding, including a grand prize of $100,000.
For the challenge, HSCA chose the theme of “Rescue Me.” Throughout the summer at the shelter, HSCA will offer Save Me Saturdays with reduced adoption fees for a special group—including police officers, firefighters, EMTS, doctors, nurses and more—during each event.
Additional information on HSCA’s participation in the 2014 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge can be found on www.hscalumet.org/aspca.asp.
