The Heritage Humane Society works to spotlight black cats and dogs and debunk the myths that surround them
(WILLIAMSBURG, VA) – For the days leading up to Halloween on the 31st, the Heritage Humane Society (HHS) is highlighting black cats and dogs and going above and beyond to find homes for their shelter mates!
“The myths surrounding black cats reach a fever pitch in the days leading up to Halloween,” says Darci VanderSlik, HHS Marketing Manager. “These unfounded black cat myths prevent many wonderful pets from finding loving homes.”
To counter the myths surrounding black cats, the Heritage Humane Society uses the days before Halloween to celebrate black cats and debunk those myths. As part of the celebration of black cats and dogs, HHS is reducing the adoption fees by $31.
In the spirit of the Halloween, HHS will honor the adoption fee reduction for cats and dogs with any black spots on their coats (tabbies, calicos, torties and tuxedo marked cats, and dogs with any black spots or coat patterns).
The October discount is part of a larger Heritage Humane Society goal of saving a record number of lives in 2017 using fun promotions and significant adoption fee discounts in order to inspire people to adopt a shelter pet. The $31 discount includes spay/neuter surgery, a wellness exam, deworming, basic feline and canine vaccines, a microchip and more, over $300.00 worth of veterinary medical services.
The countdown to Halloween Black Cat & Dog adoption fee discount will run: Through Tuesday, October 31, 2017 at the Heritage Humane Society, 430 Waller Mill Rd, Williamsburg, VA 23188
