Photo: Zorro is a handsome adult neutered male cat. He is an independent guy who decides when he wants attention. He enjoys sitting on the windowsill to watch the world outside, and might be happy as an inside/outside cat. Zorro has long hair and does not like being groomed, so he was shaved to remove tangled hair. The shaved area is velvety soft and he now has a unique lion mane look.

Tops Markets in Wysox is partnering with The Bradford County Humane Society to hold their 16th annual "Shop for Pete & Penny" fundraiser as part of its recognition of National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week.

Both will be available for adoption on Saturday, November 9th.

Shop for Pete and Penny will be held on Saturday, November 9th from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM at the Wysox Tops Market in the Bradford Towne Center shopping plaza. BCHS Representatives will be on hand with Wish Lists of items that the shelter is always in need of. These include: Non-clumping cat litter, kitten food, puppy chow, cat food and dog food (both canned and dry), laundry detergent, dishwashing soap, bleach for cleaning, 40/50 gallon garbage bags, collars and leashes, latex gloves and sponges for cleaning.

"Shop for Pete and Penny is a great way for those that maybe can't adopt an animal right now to still be able to help out our shelter and to shop for our homeless and abandoned animals, stated Jennifer L. Spencer, Executive Director for BCHS. This year, all Tops stores in Bradford County are participating in the event. From November 3rd to November 9th patrons can purchase items at any Tops store in Bradford County to donate to the animal shelter.

October is National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month

Are you looking for…

• An exercise buddy?
• A best friend for you or your children?
• A constant companion for your mother or father?
• A fuzzy face to greet you after a hard day’s work?
• A best friend to love you unconditionally every day?

An adopted dog can be all of these things and so much more!

The Bradford County Humane Society is hoping that you can open your heart and home to a shelter dog and adopt. October is National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month.

Every day dogs of various breeds come in as strays to the Bradford County Humane Society. If their owner does not come to claim them within 48 hours, these dogs are available for adoption. Each dog has their own background, and story, but they all need loving, caring homes.

While a lot of people are looking for puppies or small breed dogs, many other dogs tend to get overlooked. Senior dogs or dogs that may need special care are looking for their final forever homes. Pit bull breeds get a bad reputation. BCHS has many pure bred pit bulls or mixed breed pit bulls.

The National Pit Bull Awareness campaign is a nationwide effort to bring positive awareness and attention to the American Pit Bull Terrier and their responsible owners.

To anyone who shares their life with a "pit bull," the need for a national day of awareness for these misunderstood dogs is clear. Constant negative media attention and sensationalized hype that surrounds pit bulls has the breed in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. The media and public have stereotyped and judged an entire group of dogs, as well as their owners, based on the actions of a few.

Percy is a happy and bouncy young adult male Am Staff mix. He is playful and full of energy and likes people. Percy is a diamond in the rough - he is smart and with some training he will make an excellent companion. Percy is a happy, loving, playful boy. He is an outgoing dog who likes everyone. -->

National Pit Bull Awareness Day is October 26th and was established as a day to educate and foster positive communications and experiences in the communities in which we and our dogs live. It is an opportunity to be a positive role model for responsible dog ownership, as well as introduce the truth about the grouping of dogs commonly known as "pit bulls" right in your town. Many people only know of pit bulls by what they hear on the news, and they have formed negative opinions based only on that knowledge. BCHS has many pit bulls and mixed breed dogs that are in need of a loving home.

Even if you can’t adopt a dog right now, there are many things you can do to help homeless pets at BCHS. You can become a volunteer. Come to the shelter, fill out a volunteer application, and attend the next volunteer orientation. Then you can walk dogs, socialize with cats, help clean, and many other things.
