HOPE Animal Shelter Grand Opening June 22, 2007

HOPE Animal Shelter, a no kill, community room haven for dogs and cats is having their grand opening Friday, June 22, from 6-8PM.

HOPE Animal Shelter came into existence almost 2 years ago and was operating out of Bernarda Veterinary Hospital. “We are so excited to finally have a place to call home,” says Susan Scherl, the Director of Operations of HOPE Animal Shelter and one of its founders. “Now we are looking to raise additional funds for the final construction of our facilities.”

“To get to the point where we can finally make a difference and help reduce the practice of euthanasia in Tucson is just incredible,” says Dr. Kayomee Daroowalla, owner of Bernarda Veterinary Hospital and a co-founder of HOPE Animal Shelter.

While there are other no-kill cat shelters in Tucson HOPE is the only one that cares for dogs as well. There are currently over 100 adoptable companion animals being cared for at the shelter and in foster homes.

So, stop by after work and come dally with the dogs and cuddle with the cats. Take a chance and buy a raffle ticket to support the shelter. Finger food and soft drinks will be served.

HOPE Animal Shelter is located at 2011 E. 12th St. For more information, call Susan Scherl at 792-9200 or visit the shelter’s website at www.hopeanimalshelter.net.
