Below is the contents of the weekly Adoptions & Newsletter email sent out on 10/27/11.
Hello, fellow Friends of BCAS volunteers!
Please spare a moment to read the following announcements:
• DOG HANDLING CLASS: Animal Advocate John will be holding his next Yellow Dog Handling Class on Thursday, November 3rd at 6 PM. Volunteers, come learn about handling potentially difficult dogs, and become approved to walk Yellow-rated shelter dogs!
• HELP US, DOG TRAINERS! Calling all volunteers with dog training experience who are willing to conduct group dog training classes for your fellow volunteers using our shelter dogs. First you will work with John and Lisa (shelter's Adoption Advocates) to establish training techniques, curriculum, etc. and then we can schedule classes. Please contact Penny at fobcas@yahoo.com if interested.
• HELP US MAKE VIDEOS: Like taking videos of your friends, family, pets? Maybe you even have your own Youtube page with your own video creations? We could use your help with taking videos of our shelter's animals. We have our own Youtube page already (youtube.com/friendsofbcas), but we need somebody (or somebodies) interested in taking/editing videos to fill it up! If you want a chance to be creative and help needy animals all at the same time, email Jenn at jennak87@yahoo.com.
• THANKS, FROM CINNAMINSON DAY: Cinnaminson Day for Friends of BCAS on 10/23/11 was a big success. Thanks goes to Jean Stone, Frank Bury, and Penny Legg (and her foster, Parker!) for their hard work to make it a success. They manned our table, supplied informational handouts (micro-chipping pets, volunteer program, Pit Bull myths, shelter donation wish list) and talked to numerous folks about adopting a shelter animal. $130.00 in donations were collected largely due to a great idea by Jean. She had little stuffed animals, donated by her employer, who were "adoptable" for a $5 donation. The kids loved adopting the little animals. Thanks everyone for a great job!
• EAT FOR A CAUSE: On November 8 from 4 PM til 10:30 PM, Vincenzo's is donating 15% of all dinners to the Burlington County Animal Alliance, including pick up or take out orders. Please come and eat there or take something home for dinner, and share the news with your neighbors, friends and families! BCAA works closely with both the shelter and our volunteer program, so let's give them our support! (Vincenzo's Pizza & Restaurant, 23 Charleston Road, Willingboro, NJ // Phone: 609-835-9111)
• MICROCHIPPING AT BCAS: The Pet Aid team holds monthly microchipping at select BCAS rabies clinics. The next microchipping clinic is at the shelter on Nov. 3rd from 3-4 PM. Microchipping for FIXED pets is $11. PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Find more details here: http://burlingtoncountypetaid.org/microchipclinics.html
• NJSPCA LOW-COST VACCINE/CHIPPING: On November 6, 2011 in Bordentown, NJ, the NJSPCA will be microchipping pets and giving rabies, bordetella and distemper vaccinations. Check out their Facebook post for more information: http://www.facebook.com/notes/nj-spca/njspca-low-cost-vaccine-and-microchipping-clinic/274249942609329
