BCAS & Volunteers at Earth Fair and Dog Walk - 6/18/11

On June 18th, 2011, Friends of the Burlington County Animal Shelter participated in two fun events: Waggin' Tails and Trails (a fun, health-themed dog walk open to the public) and the annual Burlington County Earth Fair, both held at Historic Smithville Park in Eastampton! We had a lot of fun, and I look forward to participating in next year's events.

The Dog Walk: Waggin' Tails and Trails:

I've only got a few pictures to show from the dog walk, though my fellow volunteer Terry W. might have something to say about my not posting the picture she took of me doing jumping jacks at a walking station manned by exercise-minded children!

Don't the dogs look happy? The little guy's D-41786 Toby and the bigger guy is D-39503 Patch. As of this posting, both of these wonderful dogs are still available for adoption at BCAS.

Limited Time Offer: Cat & Kitten Adoption Fee $20!

The Burlington County Animal Shelter has reduced their cat & kitten adoption fee to $20 (twenty dollars!) for the duration of June and July, 2011.

This fee reduction is to help alleviate the overcrowding of cats and kittens at the shelter during the year's cat-heaviest months, "Kitten Season". Every year around spring and summer, kittens are born in huge numbers and flood shelters across the nation, displacing other cats for cage space. At shelters such as BCAS, which are required to take every single cat picked up or surrendered from within the County, cage space is everything, and the shelter is often forced to make space for incoming cats by humanely euthanizing the current residents. Please, adopt your pets from where adoption is truly needed. Don't breed or buy while shelter cats die! • Click here to see the shelter's hours and directions! • • Click here to view the shelter's adoptable cats online! •

Friends of BCAS Attends 4th Annual Explorer/Junior Firefighter Competition

It was a gorgeous day on the 21st of May; not a cloud in the sky (in the beginning, anyway) as we set up our table at the

4th Annual Explorer/Junior Firefighter Competition.

We are the Friends of the Burlington County Animal Shelter, and we were offered a display spot at the competition to promote our program and the shelter animals!

Dog Walking Party 5/14/11

On Saturday, May 14th 2011, we had an awesome volunteer dog walking party at the shelter. We met our goal of getting all the 60 or so walkable dogs walked, and we did it in under four hours with only a dozen volunteers! (And then we had tasty snacks as a reward. Mmm-mmm.) Huge thanks go to all the volunteers who helped make this happen! I hope we can repeat this experience many times in the future :)

Even though I brought my camera to the event, I was so distracted with actually walking dogs that I completely forgot to get any pictures of it. I won't be so thoughtless next time, I promise.

We're planning on having a volunteer cat party in mid-June, so if you're not already a volunteer, attend an orientation (at the shelter every Thursday at 6 PM, first Saturday each month at 11 AM) and come have some fun with us! Not only do you get to make cats happy by giving them a break out of their cages, you get to meet your fellow cat-loving volunteers AND share some snacks together! I hope to see you there :D

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.
