Friends of the Burlington County Animal Shelter --- (New Site! FriendsofBCAS.org): Friends of BCAS

Below is the contents of the weekly Adoptions & Newsletter email sent out on 6/16/11.

Hello, fellow Friends of BCAS volunteers!

I know you're excited to see who got adopted this week (so many great animals found homes!), but please spare a moment to read the following announcements:

• REMINDER: LAST CALL for volunteers to help with Saturday's Dog Walk and Earth Fair, located in Eastampton's Historic Smithville Park! We'll be participating in a Dog Walk/Run at the park from 8-10 AM, then helping the shelter with their table at the Earth Fair from 10AM-2PM. We can still use a few more dog handlers and cat tenders! DOG HANDLERS MUST RSVP BY FRIDAY MORNING TO GET A DOG. RSVP to Jenn at jennak87@yahoo.com. Thank you!

• REMINDER: LAST CALL to attend the "Training Sasha" Beginners Dog Handling Class hosted by Animal Advocate John on 6/20/11 at 6:00pm. Space is limited and registration is required, so please RSVP to Penny at fobcas@yahoo.com.

• REMINDER: We are still looking for people to help us organize fundraising events and projects. It can be as simple as a bake sale or selling dog treats or trinkets at an already-existing event! Fundraisers help us buy things that help the shelter animals, like "Adopt Me" bandanas for the dogs, and better display cages for the cats. Email Penny at fobcas@yahoo.com if you're interested in helping us fundraise!

• ANNOUNCEMENT: On Sunday, June 19^thfrom 4-9PM, Pirone's Pizza, an Italian restaurant, will give %25 of every check to BCAA with the hand-in of a flyer! You can download the flyer from http://www.BCAAofNJ.org, or pick up a copy at the restaurant. The Burlington County Animal Alliance is our partner and supporter, so please support them in turn with a great meal!

• VOTE FOR BCAS as America's Favorite Animal Shelter, hosted by Care2, ASPCA and AdoptAPet.com. The winning shelter gets $15,000, and all participating shelters have a chance to win money!

...Thank you! And now, without further ado...

We thought you'd like to see some of the wonderful animals that were adopted most recently! Your efforts help the animals to stay calm and sane, and this makes them so much more attractive to potential adopters. We truly appreciate the time you put in, and we know the animals do too.

More cats and dogs were adopted, rescued, fostered or reclaimed beyond these below, but I don't have pictures!

The Cats:

C-40419 Dennis, C-40568 Butterscotch (rescued), C-40592 Leo (rescued by BCAA)
