Shelter Dogs Visiting New Jersey Petsmarts

••• Petsmart Adoption Days! •••

Place: Petsmart, Centerton Square

62 Centerton Road, Mount Laurel, NJ 08054 US

Time: 12 PM - 3 PM, every Saturday!

Beginning on the 16th of April, 2011, the Burlington County Animal Shelter's volunteers will begin bringing adoptable shelter dogs to the Petsmart in Mount Laurel, NJ for customers to meet!

This is happening in cooperation with the rescue group Burlington County Animal Alliance (learn more about BCAA here), who has had regular Petsmart Adoption Days with their rescue dogs and cats for quite some time now! Thanks also go to Petsmart for allowing rescues and animal organizations to hold events such as these in their stores.

Last Saturday, the 16th, the Burlington County Animal Shelter sent two cute little bitty dogs to the Mount Laurel Petsmart to be shown off, and they're both already adopted :) We hope to expand to other Petsmart locations in the future, and to show off a variety of wonderful, adoptable dogs. For this to be a success, we need volunteers to transport and handle dogs, and members of the public to come visit us and make our efforts worthwhile!

People interested in volunteering for this type of event can sign up as a volunteer with Friends of BCAS.

Fellow Friends of BCAS volunteers,


Once again we are seeing the number of visits volunteers are making to the shelter and volunteer hours increase compared to the prior month, which is WONDERFUL!!  In February we had 106 visits and 176 volunteer hours.  In March, we had 161 visits and 245 volunteer hours. That's a 51% and 39% increase respectively.  (Please remember to sign in & out when you are at the shelter, so our statistics can be as accurate as possible.)

Those of you coming out to the shelter regularly know these statistics are not just numbers.  These statistics also represent purring cats and tail-wagging dogs.  It is a wonderful feeling when you approach a kennel and KNOW that cat or dog recognizes you :o)

I went through the shelter last Saturday, 4/2/11, and there were some dogs and cats who had not been out of their kennels for over two weeks.  Let's strive to get the dogs and cats out of their kennels at least once a week!!
