Old Dominion Humane Society (ODHS) has created the perfect evening for families with “Puppies and Pajamas” from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 2. At this first-ever event at ODHS, guests are asked to come dressed in their favorite pajamas and bring a favorite book to read to the puppies. Don’t have a book to bring? ODHS will have plenty on hand to choose from.
“This is a great opportunity for families to visit Old Dominion and see the adorable puppies,” said Chrissy Blake, ODHS founder. “Guests can read favorite books to the puppies or just have fun playing with them. It’s a great way for the puppies to get the chance to play and for families to spend some time together.”
Admission is a $10 donation per family or canned dog food. These donations will be used to help in the care of the rescue dogs and in its mission to provide well-matched, permanent homes for animals in need through rescue, rehabilitation and education. ODHS works to decrease the number of dogs needlessly euthanized by pulling them from high-kill shelters and rescuing them from situations such as neglect, mistreatment and hoarding.
ODHS is located at 3602 Lafayette Boulevard in Fredericksburg. Adoption events are Wednesdays from 5-7 p.m., Fridays from 6-8 p.m. and Saturdays from 12-4 p.m. Applications in advance are preferred and take priority over walk-ins.
