Time for the Paw-lympics: Go Team AAHS!

The animals at the Athens Area Humane Society are joining in the Olympic games this year… the Paw-lympics, that is!

 

The animals at the Athens Area Humane Society are joining in the Olympic games this year… the Paw-lympics, that is! Many of our adoptable dogs and cats have been awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze medals, and in return, they’ve received lower adoption fees through August 12, 2012! Visit the Adoption Center (191 Alps Rd. Ste. 15, Athens, GA 30606, in the back of Pet Supplies Plus) to see which cats won medals by the color of their collars, and visit http://www.athenshumanesociety.org/adoption/ to see which dogs won medals by their photos!

In celebration of the 30th Summer Olympics, the adoption fees for medal winners have been awarded in increments of $30. (Please note: Sponsorships cannot be combined with medal awards. In order to make a bigger impact, current sponsorships for adopted medal winners will be applied to future adoptable animals.)

(In order to encourage adoptions of our foster dogs, and therefore open foster homes to save more adoptable dogs, our re-homing dogs did not place in this year’s Paw-lympics—although they are superb paw-thletes!)
