Thank you to those who came out and supported us at the BHS/Pedigree Animal Fun Day! We saw many people and dogs at this event and a great time was had by all. The grey clouds only helped keep it cooler and kindly didn't drop much rain on us. Together you helped us raise over $7,000 for the BHS.

Seeking: We are in search of a small car for our vet to drive. With the demise of our main ambulance, we need our smaller vehicle on the road attending emergencies and complaints, leaving our vet without a vehicle. If you have one you would be able to loan or donate, it would be greatly appreciated! Also, if you have ideas or connections that would help us repair/replace our main ambulance, please contact Inspector Grant at the BHS. Thank you.

Seeking: The BHS is looking to buy a much-needed autoclave. Ours has served us well but has finally stopped working. Currently, we are fluid sterilizing our instruments which is costing the vets and techs valuable time. In order to maintain a high spay/neuter & surgery practice, we are looking for an affordable autoclave. Anybody with ideas, or with connections in the medical field, please contact us! Thank you.

Donations: If you are making a donation to the BHS and wish it to be assigned to a particular area/item, please specify so on your donation.
