One of our own local dogs has been entered in the Global Pet Food’s GIVE HOMELESS PETS A SECOND CHANCE and her humans have vowed to donate the prize: 1 year of food to Birch Haven Rescue and Rehabilitation!!!!! Vote for Mudslide and BHRR could have food for a year!!

Simple click here and then look for her picture among the entrants.

Birch Haven Rescue and Rehabilitation Services is a local rescue specializing in assisting Giant Canine Breeds & Equines & focus on the Special Needs – (Deaf, Blind, Sick, Senior & Injured). BHRR does not pick and choose which animal to assist but rather helps the next one in need!

Their area of assistance is across North America & the area of placement is mostly in Ontario plus Quebec. BHRR provides a safe ‘haven’ for animals for life should they not be adopted or are deemed un-adoptable. Birch Haven is a non-profit program and is an all-Volunteer organization without any salaried employees

Unfortunately BHRR is entering a food shortage again. With the upcoming addition of a new rescue, their current food resources will last only about 10 days. Please consider donating to help. Thanks so much! Currently BHRR feeds Canidae, Fromm, Natural Balance, Wellness and Solid Gold but will accept any high quality food. You can also choose to donate funds via Pay Pal, cash, or cheque. A $55.00 gift can buy enough food to feed 9 Giant Breeds for 4 days Please consult their website for more information on how you can do this.

As well, a calendar is for sale at Global Pet Foods-Kanata which goes to support BHRR.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

On behalf of myself and all the animals here at BHRR; we wanted to send out a heartfelt personal note of our deepest of thanks plus gratefulness for everyone who made the 2nd Annual BHRR Boat Cruise/Dinner/Auction so lovely AND successful!

The food was divine – too bad I was only able to grab a few bites of my own meal - ; could not have asked for better weather or in having the ship crew that we did (Lois and Art were with us last year too!); the support of myself in my welling up of emotional tears and the company of all of you just made our night so incredibly special! Lois even donated all of her bar tips to BHRR, despite my protests.

TOTALS OF THE 2nd ANNUAL BHRR Boat Cruise/Dinner/Auction:
Auctions – $2,703.00
“Jaxson’s Journey” Donation Jars – $409.92 *included ‘Scoop 4 Loot’ in Jaxson’s Jar
