Happy November, everyone!

I hope you and your animals all had a safe Halloween. Please remember to continue to keep your pets secure as the firecrackers will continue to be about until Guy Fawkes on Saturday, November 5th.

On Saturday, November 5th, the first-ever foster dog/puppy Meet & Greet will be held at Green Parrot (Nassau side). The event begins at 1 p.m. and will give people the opportunity to meet the BHS, BAARK and Stray Busters animals that are currently in foster homes and looking for forever homes. Some drink sales profits will go to the BHS. Please come out and join us!

Free adoptions for adult dogs and cats has been extended to Sunday, November 6th. If you or anyone you know is looking for a four-footed addition to their home, please come in and adopt. This has been a successful promotion so far with 13 adult dogs and 10 adult cats being adopted over this past weekend.

The BHS would like to extend a thank you to Solomon’s for donating a SkyWater machine to our Shelter. This machine takes the moisture from the air and turns it into drinkable water, hopefully saving us several water bottles’ worth a year. Thank you, Solomon’s!

Christmas Mini-Camp! The dates have been set. December 19th, 20th, and 21st. 9 a.m. to noon each day. Be sure to register early!

Did you know? Ticks are not insects. Ticks have eight legs as an adult and two body segments, whereas insects have six legs as an adult and three body segments. Ticks are arachnids, as are chiggers, spiders and mites.

One small success: Luna (the dog in the attached photos, one the right in the before photo) traveled safely to Fort Lauderdale and was greeted happily in her new home. In the words of her new owner: “She loves the big bed and going for long walks. She pays no attention to the squirrels and ducks. She chases lizards! She is a very happy little dog, thank you so much for sending her over. We all love her very much. Tonight we have to go by a sweater as tomorrow will be cold here. She is gaining weight and now is at 10 pounds.”
