BECKELY -

The Raleigh County Humane Society will work together with one local restaurant to help raise money needed to keep the shelter operational.

On Thursday, February 9, any customer who eats at Bob Evans Restaurant on Harper Park Drive in Beckley and presents a flier for the Humane Society's "Eat for Pete" fundraiser will have 15% of their purchase donated to the humane society.

Representatives from the Humane Society say that all proceeds from the fund raiser, named after a dog that is currently available for adoption, will go toward replenishing the shelter's medical fund. This fund helps cover the cost of veterinary care and provides vaccinations for newly-adopted animals. Veterinary bills for the shelter can be quite high. During January, three emergency cases alone cost the shelter over $2,000.

"We are grateful for businesses like Bob Evans," said Humane Society Volunteer Erica Bradley.

In addition to the 59 News website, fliers are available at the Raleigh County Humane Society office at 325 Gray Flats Road in Beckley, at Pet Supplies Plus on Eisenhower Drive, or by request through their Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/RaleighCountyHumaneSociety.
