| • | The inaugural Mister HotShine Car Wash and Lube Centers Paws-a-thon raised over $2,000 for BFHS during their July promotion. This event was sponsored by Mister Carwash on Columbia Center Blvd. Thank You from all the staff and pets at BFHS for a successful first-year fundraiser. |
| • | Please welcome two more new members of the BFHS Kennel Staff: Becky French and Tyler Gerard. |
| • | Shelter Cats, by Michael Kloth, will be released September 7. Containing many intriguing shots of cats and kittens from BFHS, TCAC, and Michael's previous shelter, the book will captivate any animal lover. Michael has been photographing homeless animals in the Tri-Cities for several years. The book may be pre-ordered from either Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble. |
| • | Welcome new Kennel Staff members Audrey Zoesch and Dana Larson |
| • | It only took a year, but the last of the 20 American Eskimos and their offspring sheltered by BFHS have been adopted. Simba found a forever home. See the Press Release. Also check out Success Stories. |
| • | The Cocoa Mulch story is making the rounds again. Although the risk to dogs appears to be small, there are alternatives to the product that are safer. The warning about chocolate is worth repeating. |
| • | New Shelter plans are evolving. Architect Terry Thornhill, working with BFHS Staff, has rendered a new plan for the improved shelter, basing his revisions on staff input. See the results here. |
