Fundraising is Key to Rescuing Animals

Fundraiser Updates

While we would like to think that animal rescue is all about the love and dedication of those willing to dedicate their time to saving animals in need, we must recognize that animal rescue cannot function without money.

Thanks to some especially dedicated volunteers, we’ve had great success with fundraisers so far this year.

April’s Spay-ghetti Dinner raised over $1,000 for each of three local animal rescues. BHS would like to thank Casa D’Amici, Rick and Sarah McDonald, Susie Pratt, and Paul and Pat Greier for putting on this delicious fundraiser for us again this year.

April’s Pet Photos with the Easter Bunny at Southern States in Bedford is always a popular event. This year we brought in $132.

April’s Annual PetEx Event allowed helped us bring in over $450 in sales and donations. The jewelry, dog tags, t-shirts, and magnets are always a big hit. Stop by our office during business hours to purchase between events!

May’s Woofs N’ Purrs Adoption Event and Fundraiser brought in well over $5,000 for BHS. We are endlessly thankful to Mary Boyer and Pat Greier for the exhausting amount of time they put in to pull off such a fabulous event. (We also thank their husbands, as we know they were required to be helpful and patient during this process.)

Do YOU have an idea for an event or fundraiser? We’d love to hear from you! Email our office at info@bhsva.org and we’ll get you in contact with our Event/Fundraiser Committee!
