From paw-print ornaments to lunch with your new adoptee, the SPCA along with a group of dedicated James Madison University students, are doing everything they can to make sure that the cats and dogs of the Harrisonburg/Rockingham County area have loving homes in time for the holidays, just like every pet deserves.
"I have a passion for helping animals and have volunteered at the SPCA for three years, so when I heard about this service learning project that was aimed at finding animals homes for the holidays, I knew I had to do it," said senior Heatherann McHugh, one of the JMU students who worked hard to make this event possible. "My group was given the week of November 15, so we thought this would be the perfect event to plan right before the holiday season."
The festivities kicked off today and will continue throughout the entire week. Here is the schedule of events and specials for each day:
Monday, November 15th:
