A huge thank you to everyone who came out to our Spring Fling today. Those who worked at the booths, signed in at the welcome table, bought a sweatshirt, had their dog’s nails clipped, joined in the games and contests, ate the food, supported the vendors, bought tickets for the raffle, bid at the auction and last but not least, oohed and aahed over our foster dogs, you made the day a success!

These four beauties came to us today.

Donations needed for Spring Fling raffle and auction.

Our annual Spring Fling is just around the corner and we are in need of raffle table and auction items.  I’m sure everyone knows that an extreme amount of blood, sweat and tears goes into the procurement and preparation of the raffle/auction items.  Lisa Crouser has always been responsible (“raffle mother superior”) for the incredible success of the events and this year we want to make sure to show our appreciation by stepping up and helping.

If you have items you would like to donate or  you would like to help with the process, please let me know ASAP.

Donations of any amount to benefit BCC students through the College’s Foundation annual fund will be gladly accepted at the door.

Dogs participating in the show must be registered. Each dog may be entered in two categories. Because categories fill up fast, pre-registration is strongly recommended and costs $15 through February 8th. Starting on Thursday, February 9th through the day of the show, the fee is $20. Registering a second dog in the same family costs $10.

Vendors will have pet related items for sale and non-profit agencies will provide information pertaining to pet services. Refreshments will be offered for sale by the BCC LPN program.
Bring your Greys for a fun day in the beautiful Berkshires!

Dancer and Drummer have grown up together and had to be given up due to family problems. We are looking for someone who is willing to adopt them together so they stay together.
