Humane society slates adoption event

There will be two other "adoption extravaganzas." The first one will be at PetSmart, 1184 Polaris Parkway, Columbus. The event will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. on Aug. 24. The second will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. on Aug. 30 at the Honda Marysville Dealership, 640 Coleman's Crossing Boulevard, Marys-ville.

The humane society on Aug. 9 held its fourth annual Run Fur Hope fundraiser. The event included a 5K walk followed by a two-mile dog walk. Proceeds benefited the UCHS. Board member Jim Foeller said the event raised $4,100. He said there were 50 runners and 150 people who walked their dogs.

The event included the Marysville Fire Department giving a walking tour of a fire truck, inspections of child safety seats, and booths from various pet-related vendors. Dolly's Barking Bubbles had a mobile pet-grooming salon and Pet People handed out sample dog food.
