The weather was beautiful on Saturday, September 7th for Bradford County Humane Society's 5th Annual Picnic With Your Pooch held at the Grovedale Winery in Wyalusing. Over 100 people were in attendance along with their 4 legged friends to visit various vendors, sign up for raffle drawings, door prizes and purchase 50/50 tickets. Music was provided by the talented Dennis Winge from Horseheads, New York, who played acoustic guitar and sang many favorites. The Grovedale Winery tasting room was open for all to sample various wines and purchase by the glass or bottle.
BCHS's own Dog Trainer, Mike Norris, demonstrated dog agility with an adoptable pitbull mix, Ziggy. Ziggy also showed the spectators what a good obedient dog she was by having Norris perform various obedience training techniques using clickers. Three other BCHS dogs were also in attendance - Nelson, a Coonhound, Buttons, a Dalmatian Mix who has since been adopted, and Buffy, a hound mix.

Almost $1100 was raised from the 2013 Picnic With Your Pooch and over 500 pounds of pet food and supplies were donated.
"Each year this event grows larger. For me, I love to see the pets that have been adopted from us over the years. It is so exciting to see our friends, old and new, to show support for our shelter," stated Jennifer L. Spencer, BCHS Executive Director.
