PetFolio Congratulates Nevada Humane Society on a Great Craft Fair Today!

PetFolio joined in the Home 4 the Holidays festivities at Nevada Humane Society today, December 12th from Noon until 5pm.  The Nevada Humane Society hosted a Craft Fair for the Critters.  We handed out PetFolios and shopped for handcrafted art, jewelry, candles, and other pet-related gifts.

Young artist Sabel Witmer participated by also selling her $2-$3 "Flower Puff" flower pins and barrettes that she handmade.  Then she contributed in the holiday cheer by donating money directly to the homeless animals at the shelter.  We met lots of people dedicated to the well being of our community's animals.

Nevada Humane Society is asking for YOUR help in reaching their goal of finding homes for 1,200 pets during the Home 4 the Holidays Pet Adoption Drive, which runs through January 2. There will be fun Home 4 the Holidays activities each weekend through New Years.

Home 4 the Holidays is a nationwide pet adoption drive now in its 12th year. It was created to get animals out of shelters and into good homes during this season of giving and love. Nevada Humane Society is one of thousands of participating animal shelters nationwide.

Nevada Humane Society is open for adoptions 7 days a week (except for Christmas day) from 11am to 6:30pm and an hour earlier at 10am on Saturdays. The adoption center is located at 2825 Longley Lane, Reno.  Pet lovers will find PetFolio magazine in the entrance of the Nevada Humane Society.
