(Oct. 13, 2016) Worcester County Humane Society will be holding its annual Open House and Rescue Festival on Saturday, Oct. 15 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.  
Everyone is invited to come see all of the sweet dogs and cats that are available for adoption along with improvements that have been made to the shelter. There will be local artists, vendors, dog trainers, a bake sale and demonstrations.
Also on Oct. 15, the shelter is teaming up with channel 47 WMDT for a one-day, Delmarva-wide, adoption event, “Pick A Pal Day,” where the shelter will offer adoption specials for the day. Dog adoptions will be just $75 and cat adoptions $30 for this day only. Those interested in adopting are encouraged to have their application pre-approved as the adoption process can take approximately 48 hours.
During the Open House there will be a “Pound for the Pound” event hosted by Angela Houck from Pure Power Studio – Aerial Fitness & Dance.
