13th Annual Golfing for the Animals Set for Thursday, May 31

Tee it up! It’s time to swing those clubs for the Brookhaven Animal Rescue League again.

On Thursday, May 31st, we will host our 13th annual “Golfing for the Animals.” This event is one of BARL’s key fundraisers. We need volunteers and golfers to come forward now.

We need volunteers to help us acquire hole and prize sponsorships. This is a great way for local community businesses to help a local non-profit charity (BARL) raise some money while also getting some fairly inexpensive publicity.

We need golfers to sign up and/or form a 4-person team and enjoy the fun of some great golf at the Brookhaven Country Club. At a cost of $75 per person, an individual receives green fee, cart, lunch and chances for great prizes, while also knowing he’s helped to care for the homeless animals of BARL.

So, FORE!! Just getting your attention for a recap…

· Thursday, May 31st
· Lunch-11:30 / Tee off -1:00
· 4-person scramble
· Cost per golfer - $75
· Mulligans for sale, limit 2 per person, $5/mulligan
· Brookhaven Country Club
· Drink cart available during play
· Team prizes for 1st – 3rd place finishes; individual prizes for closest to pins and longest drives, etc.

Please step up and be a part of the fun. For more info or to help, contact Rusty Adcock at 601.695.2377 or email usmeagle90@hotmail.com.

Group photo from the 2011 camp

The Brookhaven Animal Rescue League is gearing up for our third annual "Dog Days of Summer Doggie Day Camp." This year’s theme is “BFF’s – Best Furr-iends Furr-ever” and will focus on emphasizing ways to be a friend to animals. The camp will be held July 23-27 at the Brookhaven City Park from 9:00 A.M. until 2:00 P.M. each day. Children ages 5-11 are encouraged to join us as we learn about taking care of our four legged friends, view demonstrations from professional dog handlers and trainers, and much, much, more! Children are asked to bring a sack lunch and a drink bottle each day. Registration is $75 and includes camp t-shirt, snacks, crafts, and prizes. We hope to see your children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews there! Any questions regarding camp or for more information, contact Samantha Sivils at (601) 695-1987 or samantha@theloveshackpack.com .

Current BARL Residents Needing Adoption
Dog of the Month
"Gin"

Here is Gin, and she could be your pet of the century.

Just as the drink she’s named for, too much of Gin will make you drunk…drunk on love. This girl is sweet to the core and seems willing to please in any way she can. She seems extremely smart. So with a little training, you will have her doing tricks in no time. Come visit Gin at BARL’s adoption center. We’re open 10 – 4 M – Sat and 1-4 on Sunday afternoons.

Cat of the Month
"Stella"

Stella is a 2 yr old domestic shorthair, spayed, white with gray tabby markings. She is a tad overweight and very friendly. She follows you everywhere and leaves a ring of fur around your legs, as she constantly rubs your legs. She is not afraid of dogs, and tolerates other cats. As you can see from the photo she is very loving.

The kindness we do for an animal may not change the world, but it will change the world for that one animal.
