This year for the months of January and February, patrons were able to bring in pet related items or monetary donations to be given to the homeless animals at BCHS. Through the bar sales of T-shirts made by Pastrick’s in Elmira and monetary donations, $1,000 was raised. Owners Jeff Sanderson and Pat at Agway worked with Tanner’s to use that money to purchase pet food at cost. Two entire pickup truckloads were delivered to the shelter by Wood, Thurston and Sanderson.
“I get so excited when I see that Tanner’s is holding their fundraiser for BCHS each year. They have such a fantastic growing group of patrons that are animal lovers,” states Jennifer L. Spencer, BCHS Executive Director. “Our animals are grateful for their generosity,” she adds.
“It’s good to team up with local community businesses for the greater good,” stated Ryan Wood, Co-owner of Tanner’s.
“Next year we are shooting for 3 truckloads of food!” added John Thurston, Co-owner of Tanner’s.
Champ, featured in the photo, is an adult male Pit Bull mix with unique markings. Very friendly and with good manners, Champ behaves well on a leash and knows sit. He gets along with other dogs and seems to be cat friendly. Champ is a nice dog who is ready and eager to fit into any family.
