Dog Gone Good Time Festival Saturday in Fort Mill
The Humane Society of York County will host it’s sixth annual Dog Gone Good Time Festival 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Sept. 26 at Walter Elisha Park in downtown Fort Mill.
The dog-friendly festival is growing larger each year and will include games and activities for friendly, vaccinated dogs. There will also be on-site demonstrations, health care information and animal adoptions.
The money raised during the festival will go, in part, to the HSYC’s medical fund. The nonprofit’s new director, Rebecca Boronat, helped changed several policies earlier this year so the shelter is taking in more special medical cases than ever. Previously, the no-kill shelter limited taking on heartworm positive dogs or animals that had other serious, but treatable, medical conditions.
Some dogs at the HSYC have special needs, such as Hootie, who at 6 months old, had a leg amputated due to demodectic mange. He was adopted recently by his foster family.
Dogs and cats are sheltered at the HSYC. Some of the dogs will be at the festival. Come meet them in person, or visit the shelter in person, online at humanesocietyofyorkcounty.org or on Facebook.
