Humane Society Kicks Off Diamonds in the Ruff Campaign

April 30, 2019 By Dayton Most Metro

In honor of Tuesday being Adopt a Shelter Pet Day, the Humane Society of Greater Dayton is kicking off a campaign called Diamonds in the Ruff where they hope to find more animals homes and give one lucky person a diamond and gold necklace!

Starting Tuesday, April 30th, the Humane Society of Greater Dayton is offering adoptions fees for all animals for just $30 per animal. This campaign runs through Sunday, May 5th.

For helping save a shelter pet, you have a chance to win, too! For every person who adopts at the Humane Society of Greater Dayton’s main location at 1661 Nicholas Road or through one of our offsite adoption locations during this time, we will enter them into a drawing to win a 14k gold diamond paw print pendant necklace from Elizabeth Diamond Company, a retail value of $640.

Can’t adopt, but still want a chance to win? For every $30 you donate to the Humane Society of Greater Dayton through Sunday, May 5th you will get one entry into the drawing. Donations can be made online at www.hsdayton.org/donate.

“Supporting one of our Diamonds in the Ruff, be it through donations or adoptions, is a great way to really impact animals in our community,” said Brian Weltge, President & CEO of the Humane Society of Greater Dayton. “We are so honored to work with Elizabeth Diamond Company on this campaign and hope that we will not only raise much needed funds, but ultimately find lots of fantastic animals their forever homes!”

The winning ticket will be drawn at Elizabeth Diamond Company, 7245 Far Hills Avenue in Dayton, on Monday, May 6th at 2 pm. It will also be streamed live on the Humane Society of Greater Dayton’s Facebook page .

All proceeds raised from this event help care for the homeless pets at the Humane Society of Greater Dayton. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency, the Humane Society of Greater Dayton receives no government funding and relies solely on the donations of individuals, companies and grants to run the programs and services it offers to the community. They are dedicated to building loving relationships between people and pets. Founded 117 years ago, it is the oldest and most-established no-kill animal welfare agency in the area. It focuses on pet adoptions, eliminating pet overpopulation, providing education and ensuring the humane treatment of animals.  For more information about the Humane Society of Greater Dayton, call (937) 268-PETS (7387) or visit www.hsdayton.org.
