The Jefferson County Humane Society in Valley Falls, Kansas is promoting adoption of pets in a fun and unique way.
A kid's fair will be hosted in the parking lot of the shelter this Saturday, with many fun activities and games.
Jenni Cubbison with the Humane Society says this event centers around the Clear the Shelter event which is held every year
"With our fair we hope to have fair games, concessions, prizes for the kids, hair coloring, and we're also going to have a cake walk," Cubbison says on the KFEQmunnity show. "So that should be fun for everyone."
Cubbison says while this event is about fun, it also stresses the importance of adoption, with this being a time of year where many unwanted cats and dogs show up at the shelter.
"We strive to give every animal a second chance at a loving home, but unfortunately it is a situation with all shelters I think within our area, and around America unfortunately, that there's such an overpopulation of animals that are in need," Cubbison says.
The event is a free will donation, with everything donated going to the animal shelter. Cubbison says on the day you can also view pets that are available for adoption.
The fair will run from 1 to 5pm on Saturday at 15295 K4 Hwy Valley Falls, Kansas.
