Well, the weather was wet and windy (the wind broke the tent and prevented me from hanging the BRAT banner) but I still managed to raise almost $100 for Basenji Rescue and Transport (BRAT) at the Shelburne Museum Goes to the Dogs event!!! BRAT is a national non-profit dog rescue group that specializes in re-homing basenji's and basenji-mixes that need to be adopted into new homes. The dogs enter into BRAT for a variety of reason with the most common being the result of divorce between owners, death of the owner, and puppy mill busts. As mentioned in one of my earlier posts, this year BRAT has acquired an alarming number of sick, traumatized, and malnourished dogs from puppy mills. The dogs from puppy mills tend to require a great deal of medical expenses and the cost of the vet bills can be painfully expensive. If you would like to donate additional funds to BRAT (or just want to learn more about what the heck a Basenji is) feel free to check out their website: www.basenjirescue.org
A big heartfelt thank you and "Ba-roooooo" goes out to all who purchased items from me at this event or donated money. :)
