We want to take a moment to give a huge thank you to Chris Malacarne Photography for their incredible support of Bags for Wags! 📸

CMP generously photographed all of the items featured in our silent auction, and the results were nothing short of amazing. Their talent behind the camera and eye for detail brought our auction to life with the extra special touch of professionalism. We’re so grateful for their time, creativity, and dedication to help make this event a success.

Be sure to check out Chris Malacarne Photography and show them some love! 🙌

Sunday Spotlight: Kitten & Puppy Fosters Needed 👛😍🐈

Typically, we use this space to highlight a current resident at the shelter. But tonight, on the eve of our biggest event of the year, Bags for Wags, we're shining the light on an entire army of tiny toe beans and floppy ears that need your help! After all the purses are won, the auction items claimed, and everyone heads home tomorrow- the fun is just beginning for us.

It's full blown puppy and kitten season. These are just some of the faces that you are supporting by attending our events but another huge way you can make an immediate impact on the lives of animals in our community is to foster them.

BAHS is small but mighty and we do a lot with a little space. However, the needs of the community do not stop even if every kennel at the shelter is full- and that's when a foster home comes in. Fosters provide a safe, comfortable, and loving place for our kittens and puppies to land while they grow.

We make fostering easy. BAHS provides supplies, medical care, guidance, and the squishiest puppy or fluffiest kittens you've ever seen. The typical foster time commitment for kittens or puppies is around 3 weeks (or more, if you foster fail 6 times, like our foster manager did) and we promise to provide the tissues when your first foster gets adopted.

Sign up to foster today by applying online or stopping in to chat.

We'll see you tomorrow night at Bags for Wags!🥂 Questions about the foster program? Reach out to our Placement Manager, Amanda, at [email protected].

A heartfelt thank you to Greg and Kathy Simmons for their continued support of Bags for Wags!

Kathy was the originator of this marvelous event, with the idea of a night filled with handbags and heart, and she’s been instrumental in its success ever since. Time and again, they go above and beyond for the pets in our care. Kathy even dedicated her birthday this year to fundraising for a kitten incubator to help our tiniest patients receive the best care possible.

We are so grateful for the countless ways Kathy and Greg support BAHS, and we can’t wait to celebrate this incredible 10-year milestone together at Bags for Wags!

The wait may finally be over. Kitten season is in full bloom, and we are definitely feeling it 😮‍💨

If you have been patiently waiting, now is your moment. We may only have three kittens available tomorrow, but the forecast is calling for a full on kitten wave by the end of the week.

Not a kitten person? No worries. We have plenty of cuddly pups and sweet adult cats who have been patiently waiting for their chance at a forever home.

We will be open tomorrow from 10 am to 5 pm, so come on in and meet your match. Have questions? Give our team a call at 618-235-3712.
