Below is the contents of the weekly Adoptions & Newsletter email sent out on 11/10/11.
Hello, fellow Friends of BCAS volunteers!
Please spare a moment to read the following announcements:
• LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! We need a yellow dog handler and a cat handler who would like to work with our new videographer, Steve. You will be prominently featured in our videos working with the animals to do any little tricks they know, i.e. sit, paw, stay, cuddle, fetch, etc, and just make them look their best. You'll also be collaborating creatively with Steve to present a 'story' of the animal. We are very excited about our new video endeavor and believe it will further help our shelter animals find homes. The yellow dog handler should be available Friday or Saturday mornings from 10:30am - 12:00pm. The cat handler should be available Mondays 4:30pm - 7:00pm. Please contact Penny at fobcas@yahoo.com or Jenn at jennak87@yahoo.com, if interested.
• VOLUNTEERS TO THE RESCUE! This week, a few volunteers got advance notice of the subject none of us like to think about -- cats who were scheduled to be euthanized due to a lack of space. As volunteers at an open-admission shelter, we must find ways to deal with this hard fact that not all adoptable animals will find homes. Most of the time we hear about it after the fact, but this time we, and the cats, got lucky. In only 36 hours, all four cats were saved and will now get a second chance thanks to our volunteers, our shelter, and BCAA and Animal Sanctuary: Angel, an older Siamese mix; Tinkerbell, an older overweight calico; Patty, a tubby adult black & white; and Wyatt, a shy but sweet young tabby boy. Without cooperation and teamwork between volunteers, our shelter, and rescues, these kitties would have become just another statistic.
• VOLUNTEER SWAG: You can now get our cute Friends of BCAS logo on more than just a t-shirt ($10)! Your options have expanded to: Crew neck shirt ($15) and hoodie ($17), or you can choose your own top for us to stencil ($5). You can also get "Want to Volunteer?" on the back of a volunteer shirt ($5). We have a whole rainbow of colors available. Email Barbara at barbaramoosathome@yahoo.com for details or to place an order!
• PHOTOS WITH SANTA / BENEFITS BCAA: Time: Saturday, December 3 · 9:00am - 12:00pm | Location: Peticote Veterinary Clinic, 221 Newbolds Corner Road, Southampton, NJ -- Elmo & Lacey are gearing up again this year to help Santa make photos of all their friends!

• EAT, DRINK & BE MERRY! / BENEFITS WJVA: Time: Saturday, November 12 · 7:00pm - 10:00pm | Location: The Roadhouse Bar and Grill, 1201 Clements Bridge Rd., Barrington NJ -- This is the season to give thanks for what you have and to help others less fortunate. WJVA needs to raise funds to save homeless animals. We need to pay for medical bills, spay/neuter costs, medication, and boarding, while trying to find homes for our animals. -- Advance tickets are $25.00 which includes, buffet, beer, soda, DJ, door prizes, and there will be a 50/50 and basket auction.
