'Chili dog day'

Tuesday, October 13, 2015

The McCook, Nebraska, Humane Society and animal shelter will mark October as nation-wide "Adopt-A-Dog" month with its first-ever "Chili Dog Day," Thursday, Oct. 15, from 12:30 p.m. until 5 p.m. For a free-will donation, shelter staff will serve hot dogs, chili dogs, chili and PepsiŽ until 2 p.m. The shelter will be open for adoptions of all dogs and cats, puppies and kittens until 5 p.m., and will highlight a litter of eight puppies -- rat terrier-mix and dachshund cross (above) -- who turn eight weeks old that day. The "Shelter Shoppe" will have for sale winter sweaters and Halloween costumes for pets. Proceeds from the day's event will hep the shelter with expenses associated with the care and adoption of homeless and abandoned dogs and cats.
