Peace 4 Paws - Pay it Forward Fundraiser


We hope you'll join us at our 4th annual Peace 4 Paws 5K Run, Walk and 1 Mile Fun Run to help make it our best year yet!  
 
New this year is our “Pets Paying-it-Forward” sponsorship opportunity!!! Who’s prouder of their pets’ progress than rescue parents? No one, of course.  Share your pride by sponsoring Peace-4-Paws in your pet’s name! For a minimum $50 donation, your pampered pooch or kitty’s name will be proudly displayed on our event t-shirts as a pet who is “paying it forward” to those animals still awaiting their forever homes.  Click here to donate as a pay it forward pet sponsor.     
 


If you are unable to participate in this year's event, but would still like to sponsor a smaller amount, we invite you to participate as a 'cat napper' by donating in support of Better Days!  Any amount is appreciated as a 'cat napper'.  

Thank you for your continued support of Better Days Animal League! For more information on the event and event day details or to register as a participant of the event, please visit the Better Days website.

Volunteer Corner

 
Volunteers are extremely important to Better Days!  They help with cleaning at the shelter and help at all of the thrift stores.  If you are interested in helping Better Days by providing time, please visit the volunteer section of the website.  This month, meet Kim!

Kim Lupp has been a dedicated volunteer for over four years.  Kim is
affectionately referred to as a "cat person", as she dedicates one day every
week to spending the whole day in our cattery where she meticulously cleans and cares for our many kitties waiting for adoption!  In addition, she
assists with general building maintenance, also providing material and participating in the DISA FSO work day.  

Kim always has good ideas for improvements, and keeps a watchful eye out for any potential health issues among our cat population.  Her passion for the well-being of all our residents dreaming of finding their fur-ever homes is exceptional.  Because BDAL does not euthanize for space, there are unfortunately countless kitties in need of her love and attention.  Better Days thanks Kim Lupp for her years of committed volunteer service!
 
Donate Now!
The Better Days Animal League website and Facebook page are your sources for adoptable animals, upcoming events and past event photo galleries.  Please visit today and donate money or supplies to help save more animals!
Featured Adoptable Pets:  
Lucy
Meet Bruiser!  Don't let his name fool you - this handsome man adores everyone he meets.  In fact, he loves everyone so much that he'll greet you with one big hug.  He's working on his over-exuberant greeting!  He knows how to calm down once out of the shelter environment and enjoys outings.  He would love to join you for a walk, a hike or a jog and then relax with you afterwards.   For more information, visit his Petfinder ad or fill out an adoption application to meet Bruiser.  
Rocky
Meet Truffles! Truffles came to the shelter as a stray with her four kittens.  We believe this affectionate girl to be around two years old.  Her kittens are old enough to be adopted on their own (Rory, Otis and Sarge are still looking for homes too!) so this sweet girl is looking for family of her own.  Truffles seems to adjust well and would likely do well in a home with other cats, dogs or kids.  For more information on Truffles, visit her PetFinder ad or fill out an adoption application to meet Truffles!  P.S.  You can also visit Truffles at the Chambersburg Better Days thrift store!
