Greetings! We hope this note finds you well! Despite COVID, and the changes it has brought about, we have been busier than ever at our adoption center with record numbers of adoptions of our feline and canine family members. We hope you are following along on Facebook to see our animals happily finding their forever homes… it is heartwarming to see! If you are looking to adopt, please check out our Petfinder Page, it has the most accurate list of animals currently in our care. We also wanted to let you know about an upcoming event in October, where the proceeds benefit HSBR. | | October 4th, from 1 – 5. As you know, due to COVID and limitations on gathering sizes, in April we had to cancel Taste of Blue Ridge. TOBR is our largest yearly fundraiser and is vital as it helps keep our adoption facility open & operating and allows us to take care of our four-legged friends. Barktoberfest will give us an opportunity to come together, outside , and enjoy the fall air with our friends & family, including the furry ones! | | Tickets are $30, and that gets you two beer tickets along with a commemorative Barktoberfest solo cup koozie. You can also enjoy live music by The Litt Family Band featuring Robbie Litt, a 50/50 Raffle, Silent Auction, and Fabulous Hotdogs by Jeff’s Hotdogs… Bring your friends and family (furry and non-furry). It is going to be FUN!! We have tickets on sale online, just click here to get yours! This will help us to prevent crowding at the entrance – it’s easy to do! | | | We also wanted to extend a warm THANK YOU for your generous and awesome support for the Carolina Carports – we were able to purchase several! They are still on the way, as everything seems to be on backorder these days. As soon as we get them and get them set up, we will be sure to send some pictures! Thanks again! | | | | |
