Woofstock is the largest fundraising event for the Kansas Humane Society. KHS is funded entirely by private donations and fees for service and receives no funding from government entities, the United Way or the Humane Society of the United States. The proceeds from Woofstock help KHS provide care and services for nearly 18,000 pets this year.
We don't own a dog, but we have in the past and there's always a possibility we might in the future. Click on the link below for a slideshow of photos I took at Woofstock.
Woofstock 2011
Just over two weeks ago, KHS waived the adoption fee for cats and kittens. We have two cats, one which we adopted from KHS several years ago, but it was too tempting not to go up to the KHS shelter for a third. The crowd of people wanting to adopt a kitten was overwhelming, and my youngest daughter and I stood, sat, and wandered the facility for several hours. We'd been warned when we came in that because our number was so high, there was a possibility that there wouldn't be any adoptables even before our number was called.
As it turned out, there was one cat left at the end of the numbers called. The cat wasn't even there, but was in foster care, and there was a poster of him hanging on the wall. We'd seen the cat on the KHS website and had liked him, so I spoke up and said we'd take him. We're glad we did.
Meet Toby...
Thank you, KHS, for Toby and for a wonderful time at Woofstock!!!
