Eleven ways you can help. Caring
for these four-footed friends takes love, time, and money. Our
"How to Help" page gives eleven ways you can help
the animals.
Food Drive for BARL animals. On
Friday, June 24, Radio Station B92/Majic 104.3 and Honda of Brookhaven are
sponsoring a Food Drive for the Brookhaven Animal Rescue League. When you
make out your grocery list this week, add a bag of pet food. Bring bags of
dry cat, kitten, dog, or puppy food to Honda of Brookhaven on Brookway Blvd.
between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. We especially need puppy and kitten
food right now. The radio station will be broadcasting from the site and
asking for food donations.
Medication Day. Volunteers
are needed to give our dogs their monthly heartworm preventative. The next
Medication Day is Tuesday, June 28 at the Gove Canine Facility,
from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.. No skills required.
Future
Medication dates. Every volunteer gets a Rescue car magnet.
BARL General Meeting, Monday,
August 8, at 6:00 p.m. at Country Fisherman in Brookhaven (sorry, the
restaurant won’t be serving.) We have some important items to discuss, including
a possible temporary shelter for cats. This meeting is open to all animal
lovers in the Brookhaven area. Please come and help us plan how to help
animals.
Win a Wal-Mart gift certificate.
BARL will be raffling off a $500 gift certificate in August. Stop by Country
Fisherman in Brookhaven and buy your chances for $1 each. Save aluminum cans and empty printer cartridges. The League can turn your
cartridges and cans into vet services, food, or fencing.

Send us your pet photos. Be
a part of the “IN” crowd...the few, the proud, the adopters! Send us photos
of your family with the precious pet you adopted from BARL and we’ll run the
photo in upcoming newsletters. We love to see photos of happy pets with
their happy families. Have you had your BARL pet a month, a year, 5 years?
It doesn’t matter...we want to hear (and see) your happy tails! (Send your
photos to volunteer@BARL.net or mail
to BARL, P.O. Box 3477, Brookhaven MS 39603.)
Protect your Pet. In this
area, up to 45% of untreated dogs can be heartworm positive. Be sure your
pet is on monthly heartworm preventative. Talk to your veterinarian about
options.
Help build our new shelter.
BARL has plans for a new, clean, safe shelter for our dogs and cats. Become
a foundation sponsor and buy a yard of concrete to build the foundation
($65). Or buy a brick engraved with your name or someone you wish to
honor for $50. Send your donations
to P.O. Box 3477, Brookhaven MS 39603. For more information, send us a
message.
