The Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society | Shelter for Dogs and Cats - Pet Adoption

A Tail Wagging Success!

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

On Saturday, September 5, we held the First Mountain Tail Waggers Walk and Pet Fest in Highlands, and it was a tail wagging success. Over 75 dogs, cats, and puppies – along with their owners, family and friends – followed the Grand Marshalls of the parade, Bill and Pam Nellis, from Highlands School to the Pet Fest on Pine Street.

Adjacent to the Highlands Village Arts and Crafts Festival, Pet Fest featured vendors, competitions, demonstrations, music, food, and a microchipping clinic. Two very popular activities on the day were the puppy kissing booth and bobbing for apples. And, Miss Lilly — owned by CHHS Board members, Garrison Boyce and Donald Laier — raised the most money in pledges with a total over $1,700.

Chuck Cooper of WHLC Radio, a great supporter of the shelter, emceed the event in between mountain music sessions by local musicians.
