Let’s be frank: this is going to be fun! The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile is rolling into MHHS for an afternoon of fun supporting animals and families in our community. Snap photos, meet Hotdoggers Tailgate Taylor and Chili Cheese Charlie, and pick up Wiener Whistles and other keepsakes while supplies last.
Win a ride! Enter our On a Roll Raffle for a chance to take a short Wienermobile ride with up to three guests. Tickets are $10 each, available all this week at the MHHS front desk and during the event. Entries close October 26 at 6:30 p.m. All raffle proceeds support animals in our care.
Bring something bun-derful: Donate pet food, animal care supplies, linens, or towels to support our shelter and Furry Friends Pet Food Pantry, sponsored by Goldstein Auto Group. Returnable cans and bottles are also welcome for our Goldstein Auto Group Empties for Animals program!
Well-behaved and vaccinated dogs on leash are welcome.
