‘Blind date with a pet’ program begins at Butler County Humane Society
Those looking for a surprise match have a chance to meet their new best friend through the “Luv Is Blind” program at the Butler County Humane Society.
The new social media campaign, which started at the beginning of July on Facebook, lists “dating profiles” for six anonymous shelter animals — three dogs and three cats — and encourages potential adopters to make an appointment for a “blind date.” If they end up liking the pet and choosing to adopt, the adoption fees will be waived.
“If they make an appointment to meet one of these ‘blind’ animals, and if it goes through and their application is approved, then it will be a free adoption,” said Alicia Terek, who is the volunteer, marketing and events coordinator at the humane society.
The Butler County Humane Society is currently open on an appointment-only basis, from Wednesday to Sunday. Those interested in meeting a “blind date” pet can check the shelter’s Facebook page or call 724-789-1150.
