The Tots & Paws charity event benefiting the Humane Society for Hamilton County (HSHC) and Toys for Tots was held on Dec. 3.

It was another fantastic sold-out crowd at the annual “Little Red Dress Party.” Event Chairperson Teree Bosso hit it out of the park yet again and raised a ton of money and collected thousands of toys for those in need.

Tickets included a buffet dinner, pictures with Santa, and access to the Snowflake Lounge – with bourbon and beer tastings from Sun King Brewery.

At HSHC, their motto is “A Lifetime of Chances.” They believe in second chances… and third… and fourth… In fact, they believe every animal deserves every chance at finding a forever home. That’s why they operate as Indiana’s only open-admission, truly no-kill shelter.

HSHC’s mission is saving lives, educating communities, and completing families. When it comes to saving lives, HSHC takes in over 3,000 animals each year including hundreds at risk for euthanasia in other Indiana shelters.

HSHC’s community outreach programs connect children, seniors, Hoosier veterans and more with the healing power of pets every day, and local youth education programs are planting the seeds of kindness, responsibility, and philanthropy in thousands of children each year.

HSHC’s advocacy for animals reaches far beyond Hamilton County, as the organization has taken a leadership role in fighting breed discrimination and better laws to protect animals. They won’t stop until all Hoosier animals have a chance to live, love, and be loved.
