Besides games, contests, food and craft vendors, other activities at the Tour include Flyball and Agility demos. The Canine Good Citizen test will be given to any willing dogs attending the event. There will also be an appearance by Alamance County's own Dog Whisperer, Rion Ferguson. All funds raised at the Tour help the HSAC provide programs to help the less fortunate dogs and cats
in our community as well as the care of our foster dogs and cats until they are adopted.

Since 1988, over 10,000 animals have been spayed or neutered through the HSAC's low-cost Spay/Neuter Program. The HSAC offers an Education Program for children which volunteers present to schools, Afterschool Programs, Scout meetings, Bible Schools, etc. The HSAC offers Pet Food Assistance for needy pet owners in our community. Our Rescue & Foster Program has dedicated volunteers saving and caring for animals until permanent homes can be found. HSAC volunteers will present a Power Point Presentation about the HSAC to civic organizations and other groups in our community at their requests. The HSAC does not have a shelter and is not affiliated with the Burlington Animal Shelter.

Alamance County has a serious animal overpopulation problem. Of the 8600 animals taken to the municipal shelter in 2007, 6067 were euthanized. The HSAC's goal is to reduce the number of unwanted animals by providing a low cost Spay/Neuter Program primarily for residents who have difficulty paying for this important surgery. Spayed or neutered dogs and cats are healthier, happier pets. For information about our Spay/Neuter Program, call (336) 438-2023. If you have already contacted the HSAC for an appointment and need to pay for a Spay/Neuter Voucher, click the PayPal Buy Now button at the bottom of this page. |
 Hope was the kitten of a stray mom living in the woods near a local neighborhood. A dog attacked him and he suffered brain damage and impaired vision. He does great on daily medication. Though he can only see shadows, he gets around like a sighted kitty. He has a huge plume tail and may have some Maine Coon in him. He has grown up to become a beautiful cat. And he needs a very special home. |
The HSAC Needs Volunteers!  There are opportunities for volunteers to help with our foster dogs and cats at our monthly adoption fairs. At PetSmart on University Drive, our foster kitties are on display in cubbies. Volunteers feed and socialize the cats and clean the cubbies. To pay for the care of our foster animals, the HSAC is constantly fundraising. Check our "Calendar" to see upcoming events where you can volunteer to help. Additional ways of helping can be found at the "Help HSAC" link. Please contact us if you want to volunteer by calling 438-2023.
