Yellow Springs Open House

With your help, we celebrated our 20th anniversary in style. In spite of a hot day, we had a great crowd of people and pets come out to celebrate with us. We had contests and demonstrations and tours and splash pools and fun vendor tents.

A special thank you goes out to the generous merchants of Frederick who donated wonderful items for us to sell at the silent auction. Our appreciative public helped to raise over $1,200 for Tails of Hope through the silent auction! Congratulations to the winners and thank you again to our generous business owners.

We were pleased to have Frederick County Animal Control bring some of their beautiful small animals who are looking for homes. Please remember to check with them when you need to expand your pet family.

Another thank you goes to the Frederick County Humane Society who lent us their fencing for a doggy play area. It was hot, but the dogs were still willing to chase tennis balls.

And a final thank you to the wonderful doctors and staff of Yellow Springs who made this possible. What a great group of pet-loving people!

 

YSVC wishes to thank all of the generous business owners and individuals who offered items for us to auction, raffle, and give away to raise money for Tails of Hope! In these time, it is especially heart-warming to see the generosity of our county extended to help our furry friends.

We will have guided tours of the clinic (all the behind-the-scenes stuff!) and light refreshments.
