Upcoming Events
Humane Education (January through May): The
Humane Educational Society is joining forces with the Department of Education to
enhance a child’s path to becoming a responsible and caring person. By
incorporating Hamilton County School Character traits, HES is creating awareness
and educating a more humane ethic for treating and viewing animals.
Spay Day USA (February 27th): Want to inspire people to spay and neuter
their pets, improve pet health, and help end the tragedy of pet
overpopulation—all in one day? Get involved in the 13th annual Spay Day USA on
February 27, 2007. Hundreds of humane organizations participate each year,
increasing their public profiles and reducing the number of accidental litters
born in the spring. During Spay Day USA’s first 12 years, participants spayed or
neutered an estimated 1,366,000 animals.
Teacher’s Pet (March):
Show your school spirit by participating in Teacher’s Pet; a fundraiser
involving teachers and students in Hamilton County, benefiting the Humane
Educational Society.
Rabies Clinic (April): The Humane Educational Society, the Hamilton
County Veterinary Association and the Hamilton County Health Department come
together to provide low-cost rabies shots and licensing for individuals in
Chattanooga and Hamilton County.
Riverbend (June 8-16): The Humane Educational Society will have a tent
the entire week of Riverbend to promote animal awareness. HES will also have
several animals available for adoption every night of the festival.
Paws in the Park (October 13th): The Humane Educational Society will hold
the 6th annual Paws in the Park at Coolidge Park. This event is a wonderful
opportunity to bring your dog to Coolidge Park and walk for the animals. This
past year almost 1,000 individuals attended with their four legged friends and
$40,000.00 was raised to help animals in our community. Next year the event will
be bigger than ever.
Home 4 the Holidays (Nov.- Dec.): Home 4 the Holidays is a collaborative
effort of shelters throughout the United States and the Helen Hayward Animal
Center. The purpose is to find a home for orphaned animals during the holiday
season. This year the goal was 350,000 homes and this is the largest adoption
drive in history.
