Welcome Waggin' Tours

The Humane Society of Berks County has made some incredible strides recently and has even bigger things on the horizon.  That is why we have created a new program called the HSBC Welcome Waggin'. 

Welcome Waggin’ tours are free, one hour, leave-your-checkbooks-at-home, behind-the-scenes tours of our Reading and Douglassville adoption centers and veterinary hospitals. They offer a chance to learn about all the new things going on at the HSBC; get frequently asked questions answered; meet some of the great staff, volunteers, and board who are helping to make these wonderful changes; and learn about our plans for the future.

These tours are strictly informational. We just want to know what you think of what we’re doing, see if you have any ideas on how we can do it better, or hear if you know of anyone who should be introduced to our mission. We only ask for your opinions and ideas- not your money! We really mean it: exactly one hour and leave your checkbook at home.

We have many dates and times set up for Welcome Waggin’ tours in the coming months. We’d love to have you (feel free to bring a friend!) join us for one of them. If you’d like to attend a Welcome Waggin’, call or email Dylan Heckart, Assistant Director of Development, at 610-921-2348, extension 99 or dheckart@berkshumane.org, for available days.  Space is limited so RSVP's are required.
