The Humane Society of Utah's 50th Anniversary Celebration is this Saturday, August 27th. Here is part of an article by Lynn Arave of the Deseret News:
The Humane Society of Utah is turning 50 years old this month and is planning a public anniversary celebration for Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at its facility, 4242 S. 300 West.
To mark the milestone, they will be offering 50 percent off on all adoptions during the one-day celebration. Everyone adopting Aug. 28 will receive a gift and be entered in a drawing for a grand prize — a gift certificate for Humane Society merchandise — to be awarded once they reach their one-day goal of 50 adoptions.
During the day, there will be many events for pets and their owners: Course A Lure, Splash Dogs, a dog wash and grooming, K-9 demonstrations, pet portraits, the Pet Psychic, music, food, beverages and even a historical photo exhibit.
The Humane Society of Utah was founded in the summer of 1960 to house homeless animals, provide statewide investigation of animal abuse and cruelty issues, and to develop a statewide education program promoting responsible pet ownership.
Fifty years later, the overall goal of the Humane Society remains much the same — prevent fear, pain, suffering and inhumane treatment of all animals throughout the state.

I'm glad the Society has a blog! I just added it to my dog blogroll, I'll visit often!
