Foothills Humane Society (FHS) opens its doors on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 6 for an open house and a dedication of the new Pavilion. The Pavilion was funded by the Polk County Community Foundation, as well as the Wellman Trust. The dedication will begin promptly at 2 p.m. In addition, an adopt-a-thon is planned from 1 to 6 p.m. Attendees can bring their pets for photos with Santa, who will be on hand. Many FHS volunteers will be present for an appreciation day. Raffle prizes, food and furry friends make for a fun afternoon. (photo submitted by Joyce Cox)
