Candidates are able to attend many official functions as well are invited to many Big Canoe clubs and get togethers to meet and greet Big Canoe residents. During the past days I attended the BCAR annual picnic with the other three candidates. Terrific opportunity to say "hi" to friends and meet a few others hopefully new friends! Big Canoe Animal Rescue is the NO Kill shelter that houses up to 8 dogs (not counting puppies which can get the numbers way up!) that have luckily found their way into members hearts and arms! Some have been abandoned on one of our busy state highways, some are boxed up and left on the centers doorstep and some are just handed over by folks that can no longer deal with the care of an animal. All have stories and all need "Forever" homes! I have been a weekday walker for about 3 years now. The dogs are walked multiple times a day and feed twice a day. Before entering the general population all dogs must be examined and have received all shots with any health concerns attended to by area vets ( mostly Dr Haberman). Being a volunteer in BCAR is a rewarding opportunity which I encourage anyone that has a slightest interest to call Carol Monroe and explore all the different ways you can do so. Some involvement asks little time, some more time , but then again, more fun!
Both our family dogs were rescued! Husband, Mike, trying to control the situation! BCAR holds many Open Houses so please drop by and say hello to the volunteers and of course the pooches! If adoption is not possible, please consider a donation!
