Humane Society for Hamilton County to Host Holiday Gala
Humane Society for Hamilton County’s (HSHC) 16th Annual Tinsel & Tails Holiday Petacular will take place on Nov. 17, 2022. The event is from 6-9 p.m. at 502 East Event Centre in Carmel. Tickets and tables are still available for purchase at TinselandTails.com.
This event is HSHC’s largest fundraiser supporting the shelter’s annual operating expenses. The highlight of the evening is a video presentation, followed by the featured animals and their humans walking a runway that spans the ballroom. A silent auction, seated dinner, and ‘Golden Ticket Raffle’ are also part of the evening’s festivities.
“Tinsel & Tails is our premier fundraiser showcasing the year’s most remarkable stories of rescue and redemption,” said Rebecca Stevens, President and CEO of HSHC.
“This year marks the 10th anniversary of our Pets Healing Vets Program as well, so we’ll be featuring several veteran stories to remind everyone of the very real struggle veterans have with mental wellness. Their testimonies, and the other incredible stories we’ll share, are sure to stay with those who celebrate the evening with us.”

About the Humane Society for Hamilton County:
The mission of the Humane Society for Hamilton County (HSHC) is “Saving Lives. Educating Communities. Completing Families.” HSHC serves as both the animal control facility and Humane Society for Hamilton County, and as such, receives partial funding (approximately 22%) from Hamilton County to fund the first seven days of an animal’s basic care.
The majority of HSHC’s annual operating budget is funded by individual donations and its three annual fundraising events—Wine, Wags & Whiskers, Woofstock, and Tinsel & Tails. HSHC is one of the only open-admission, truly “No-Kill” organizations in the United States in that it does not euthanize animals for time, space, treatable injuries, illnesses or rehabilitatable behavior issues regardless of age, breed, disability or special needs.
HSHC also serves the community with a variety of unique programs like the Survivor Program (which funds the medical care and the rescue of over 800 animals at risk for euthanasia in other Indiana shelters this year) and Pets Healing Vets (www.PetsHealingVets.com), which pairs Hoosier veterans suffering from PTSD/TBI with emotional support pets at no cost to the veteran.
HSHC is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization. It is not a United Way Agency and is not affiliated with any other animal welfare group in the United States. For more information, visit HamiltonHumane.com
