Celebrate the HSSA’s 75th Anniversary with “Woof Down Wednesday”


July 9, 2019
By Matt Sterner

More than 20 local businesses help out homeless pets.

“Woof Down Wednesday” returns as the Humane Society of Southern Arizona teams up with several local restaurants on Wednesday, July 17.

Aside from raising funds for animals in need and supporting the programs provided for them, the day is meant to be a celebration — a big one, in fact. This year is the Humane Society of Southern Arizona’s 75th anniversary.

It shouldn’t hurt to be a homeless pet, and donating doesn’t have to hurt your wallet either. All you’ve got to do is eat at any of the participating restaurants and they’ll donate anywhere from 10% to 50% of what you spend on your meal.

It’s not all about food either. This year breweries, popular drinking spots, and even an art studio are pitching in to help those in need.

If you can’t make it to any of the restaurants you can easily donate online.

(GMT-07:00)
