ADOPTION FEST

Now that the rush of the summer is over, we'll be posting again more regularly. To start things up again, I'd like to tell you about the upcoming Adoption Fest we'll be holding. It will be the first event that Best Friends Wakefield has held. On Saturday, October 16th from 10am to 2pm we'll have representatives from Northeast Animal Shelter, PAWS, Northeast Coonhound Rescue and Broken Tail Rescue here for those of you looking to add a furry companion to your home.

Shelters and rescues are overflowing with wonderful pets just waiting for their forever home. We hope that those of you looking for a pet will forego the pet store route and stop by. Your newest family member may just be waiting for you in one of these wonderful organizations. If you can't make it on the 16th, please contact them directly or visit any other local shelter to find that special furry someone.

Inquiries about this event can be direct to the Best Friends Wakefield Center at 781.245.1237.

Hope to see you there!

CUPID'S ARROW HITS ITS MARK!

On Friday, February 12th, Best Friends Wakefield Doggy Day Campers attended a Valentine's Day party. Each guest had a "date", thanks to the wonderful matchmaking of our very own Camp Counselor, Lindsay. No one was left without an escort to this party.

Skye and Max were voted unanimously as the "cutest couple", although Max almost found himself in hot water when he brought Valentine's for the TWO ladies in his life, Lola and Skye. Careful maneuvering on the part of the staff kept his secret safe...... he's such the ladies man! Best kisser went to Lola and Henry walked away with Cupid's Helper.

Keepsake photos were taken and Valentine goodie bags given out.

Plans are in the works for the upcoming St. Patrick's Day bash in March and Spring Fling in April. Can you believe Spring is just around the corner??? Check back for updates.

And, with Spring coming that means PUPPIES!!! Don't forget Best Friends hold training classes so the little youngsters can start out on the right paw. Call us today for more information and enrollment.

Is it time to "Spring clean" your best friend??? Schedule him/her for a day at our grooming salon to take care of all that built up winter muck in his/her coat.

BEST FRIENDS ANGEL TREE PROGRAM

Every year, Best Friends locations across the country collect for local shelters and rescues. This year, the Wakefield Center is collecting for the Northeast Animal Shelter, Great Dog Rescue of New England and PAWS.

Northeast Animal Shelter is requesting food items (all meat baby food, dry and canned food, kitten milk replacement (KMR brand only), toys, gift cards, kennel supplies (trash bags, litter, laundry detergent, blankets), and office supplies.

Great Dog Rescue of New England is asking for toys, puppy sized collars, trash bags, rubber gloves and paper towels.

PAWS deals primarily with spay and neutering and a monetary contribution towards this effort would be greatly appreciated.

Most importantly, all three organizations are asking for Forever Homes for the wonderful pets currently in their care. What more could any one ask for?

Stop by our Wakefield Center with your donation and take a look at our Angel Tree. It's full of photos of all the adorable, loving pets looking for homes this Holiday Season.

We look forward to seeing you and wish you all a safe and happy Holiday.
