On Sunday, March 6 from 12-5 pm, MJR Sales, located at 8025 Corporate Blvd. off of Industrial Parkway, will be hosting a special shopping event to benefit the Union County Humane Society’s “Help Us Grow, H.U.G.” program. Prices at the MJR Sales Warehouse Store are discounted 50-90% and at this special sale 10% of the proceeds will be donated to help the shelter expand. MJR Sales will match up to $300,000!!

If you can’t actually make it to the sale, you can also shop online: www.mjrsales.com

Help the Union County Humane Society raise money to fund their expansion, which will allow them to help even more animals.

There was a very nice article in The Columbus Dispatch yesterday that outlined the plan by the Union County Humane Society in Marysville to expand their facilities. Currently, the shelter is about 3,000 square feet. If they are able to raise the $400,000 they are asking for in the “Help Us Grow (or H.U.G.)” campaign, the shelter will double in size and increase their dog kennels from 27 to 43. The money will also allow for office space and a bigger surgery area.

The shelter currently spays and neuters all dogs and cats before they are adopted, helping to cut down on the number of unwanted puppies and kittens that are  born in Union County. They also work with Black and Orange Cat Foundation and the public with weekly clinics for stray and feral cats. They place 85-90% of the animals that come through their doors–very good statistics. We are very lucky to have such a super humane society in Union County.

I would encourage anyone who is looking to add a pet to their family to visit the humane society first.

I would also encourage everyone who loves animals to make a donation to the H.U.G. Campaign. If the shelter expands, they will be able to help more animals throughout Union County and Plain City. You can mail a donation to: Union County Humane Society, 16540 County Home Road, Marysville, Ohio 43040. You can also donate easily online at the link below.
