According to Debby Beaufort, Dog Team Leader at the Calaveras Humane Society, the Dog Days “venue has been a fantastic event in connecting with the public and promoting responsible pet ownership.”
While the event is attended by mainly those that already own dogs, adoption rates are not at their peak, yet the awareness that is raised at these events for the Calaveras Humane Society is immeasurable. Debbie goes on to say, when “Linda Stefanick of Castle and Cooke contacted us in 2010 and invited us to participate...the idea was to make the public aware of Calaveras Humane Society, what we do and also we have dogs for adoption.” In 2010 the Copperopolis Town Square held three events: February, June, and October to help raise funds and awareness.
The funds raised at the February Dog Day Afternoon were utilized for the Medical Assistance Fund. “This is a fund that assists low income public in paying for medical problems with their animals.”
The Calaveras Humane Society is looking forward to the Halloween event held in October in Town Square.
