The Helping Hands Humane Society in Topeka is currently hosting a fundraising auction and a special adoption promotion. The events aim to support the shelter and find homes for pit bull mixes.
Why it matters
These initiatives provide critical financial support for local animal care while clearing space in the shelter. The adoption promotion creates an accessible pathway for Topeka families to welcome a new pet into their homes.
The Subaru Pittie Party promotion allows adoption of pit bull mixes starting at $0. This includes dogs like 1.5-year-old Hammie, who has resided at the shelter since August 2026.

The Home Front
The Subaru Pittie Party promotion aligns with current industry trends designed to increase successful placements for long-term shelter residents. These programs are often implemented by local rescues to improve capacity and lower the duration of stay for specific dog breeds.
If you are considering adding a pet to your family, visit the shelter website to view currently available dogs like Hammie. Ensure you have the necessary supplies ready at home, such as food bowls, bedding, and a leash, before completing the adoption process.
