Helping Ivan

 
Last month we put out a call for assistance with Ivan's veterinary expenses and you rose to the occasion!  We greatly appreciate the support of Ivan and are happy to report that he is doing well in his foster home during the course of his treatment.  Ongoing updates continue to be posted on his treatment fund page!


Peace 4 Paws

 
Thank you to all sponsors, supporters and attendees of our 5th Annual Peace 4 Paws events.  More than 100 attendees enjoyed a beautiful day at the rail trail in Shippensburg with all proceeds benefitting the animals.  Pictured below are our 5K winner, Jake with a smoking time of 19:28 and one of our smallest 5K runners, Gibson!  See more photos of the day here.
 


Lottery Calendar Raffle

Thank you to all supporters who purchased lottery raffle calendars.  The tickets have been sold and logged.  Winners will be updated to the website lottery raffle calendar page each week and winners will receive their prizes in the mail!

 

Volunteer Corner

Volunteers are extremely important to Better Days!  If you are interested in helping Better Days by providing support for resident care, facilities maintenance, our thrift stores or fundraising, please visit the volunteer section of the website.  This month, meet Cassandra!

Cassandra adopted Axel, now known as Bailey, in July of 2013 and became involved as a volunteer around the same time.  Cassandra is one of our evening dog caretakers who helps make sure our dogs are tucked into bed each evening!  One of Cassandra's favorite things to do though is make sure each and every dog at Better Days gets a walk.  The dogs are thrilled when they see Cassandra and know they are going to be getting an evening walk and break from their kennel.  Cassandra will walk as many dogs as she can in the evenings and even credits dog walking as an excellent weight loss plan!  Cassandra has recently lost more than 25 pou
nds!  Better Days Animal League thanks Cassandra for her commitment to the dogs!

Although Cassandra preferred to stay out of the limelight, she agreed to have a picture of Bailey in place of her photo!

If you are interested in dedicating time to animals in need, please visit our volunteer page to submit our short application and we will be in touch with you soon!

Featured Adoptable Pets!

Meet Max!  This devilishly handsome man has been waiting for a home for far too long.  Max adores time with people and is one of the sweetest boys around.  He wags his tail so fast and hard that his entire body wiggles as he waits patiently for some attention and scratches.  Belly rubs are his favorites but some play time and romps around the yard are up his alley as well.  Don't let the costume fool you, Max is anything but a devil and would be an angel when he has a home to call his own!

For more information or to meet April, please fill out an adoption application or view his PetFinder ad.
 
Meet Spike! Mr. Skinny Tail will be one of the first kitties to greet you in our cat room.  He adores attention and will make sure to steal a few pets from you when you are around.  With a quick tap to make sure you know he is still there, you won't be able to resist this little guy.  Spike has been waiting patiently for a home since 2010.  To meet Spike, please fill out an adoption application or visit his Petfinder ad.
