Best Friend Pet Adoption (BFPA) is a no-kill animal rescue organization based in central North Carolina. BFPA has no building, office, or shelter. We are an all-foster network committed to helping dogs and cats in need of homes. Individual donations are our most important source of income as we receive no public funding.

Hi everyone: This event is NEXT weekend and should be a great outdoor event for dog lovers, owners and their dogs! Peak City Puppy is sponsoring a booth, so that's where we'll be, but wanted to extend the open invite to this MEETUP group to come join the fun with or without your dogs in tow. Hope to see many of you there.

From the Holly Springs webiste:
Dogs and their best friends will gather in Womble Park on Saturday, Sept. 26 from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. for food, entertainment and information on adoption.

Description
Who: NC Schnauzer Rescue
When: Saturday, August 15th, 11:00 am—3:00 pm
Where: Unleashed (2460 Wycliff Road, Raleigh, NC)

Why: NC Schnauzer Rescue is holding a Charity Dog Wash to help
raise funds to pay for Jasper’s medical care. Jasper is a 12-
week-old puppy turned in to the rescue because he was born
without the use of his hind legs. The previous owner knew that
Jasper would need significant medical care, and was unable to
provide that for him. Jasper is being seen by a Neurologist at
NC State Vet School for a treatment plan. NCSR has also secured
a canine wheel chair for Jasper to help alleviate the added
pressure on his front legs. You can see more info on Jasper on
our home page at http://www.ncschnauzers.org

Requested donations:
Bath, towel dry and bandana = $15.00
Nail clipping = $5.00

All donations go to NC Schnauzer Rescue for Jasper’s
medical care - thank you in advance!!!
