IndyHumane hosting dog-friendly eclipse viewing party
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Your family pet may even be able to enjoy the total solar eclipse on April 8.
The IndyHumane Society is hosting a family-friendly and pup-friendly event on the afternoon of the eclipse.
Music, food, and drinks will all be on site. Attendees are encouraged to bring chairs, blankets, and of course, protective eyeglasses for humans will be provided.
IndyHumane says all pets must be vaccinated and leashed at all times.
“This unique event being a non profit animal shelter here, we’re really just looking to just bring the community out here. We’re an animal shelter but we’re not only just coming to adopt dogs, we want to be a resource in the community for all pet and animal lovers.” Mary Lechner, IndyHumane Events and Corporate Relations Manage told News’ 8.
The event kicks off at 1 p.m. and runs until 4:30 p.m.
Those that are wishing to attend must get tickets. You can find all of that information here.
One ticket provides entry for one vehicle to the event. Up to six attendees are allowed per ticket per vehicle. Leaders at IndyHumane say your ticket or donations goes right back into the shelter.
“It provides food, care for animals, medical treatment is a big expense here, we want to make sure all of our animals are healthy.” said Lechner
Please exercise caution when bringing your pet to a solar eclipse.
