Check out these upcoming holiday events in Omaha that you won’t want to miss, including the Christmas Eve Adoption Party and Noon Year’s Eve!
Christmas Eve Adoption Party
Help make the holidays merry and bright for all the animals at the Nebraska Humane Society! Every year, our wonderful volunteers host a Christmas Eve adoption party to help find families for homeless animals just in time for all the festivities. Keep in mind: all adoptions undergo our normal procedures. It’s the purrfect time to add a forever friend to your family! Their retail store, Animal Outfitters, is also open during this time – so come and get a last-minute gift for your pet!
P.S. If you can’t think of anything to get your family or friends, consider a gift to the animals in their honor.
Note: NHS has regular hours Tuesday through Friday. They are closed on Sunday, December 25th. The December 24th hours (11-2) are for adoptions and the gift shop only.
