Enjoy a night out at BBC Tavern and Grill while supporting CompAnimals Pet Rescue’s mission to take in unwanted, abandoned or abused dogs, cats, and other small pets in our region.

Participate in the guest bartenders’ friendly competition by donating on behalf of your favorite!

Our gracious hosts are donating 10% of food and drink sales, plus all cash tips to our noble cause! We will have Silent Auction prizes, raffles, and dog treats for sale so bring cash and your love for animals in need!

We are honored to be BBC’s charitable guests for the evening and hope you can bring a friend and join us! Spread the word and we’ll see you there!

Today we handed the keys of the Subaru to raffle winner Diane (right). Diane, who purchased 5 tickets, coincidentally was also the winner of the Dodge truck that we raffled off about 7 years ago. “Wow! You are lucky!” I said when I realized who the winning ticket holder was. Diane responded that she didn’t used to be lucky until she had chemo … she lost her hair but when it grew back there was no gray! She said she also had won a generator at a local fair and donated it to a family in need. The truck, she told us, went to a volunteer fireman and the Subaru is going to be given to a young mother who needs transportation to get to work. This is karma at its best!

Thank you to all who purchased tickets and to Lynn (left) who donated the Subaru and made all this possible!

A huge thanks to Kreutz Creek Vineyards for having us out this holiday weekend! A great time was had by all! We raised some money to go towards Sybil’s much needed dental & our adoptable pups got some great exposure! Could have listened to the music ALL day long and sipped wine …and dogs everywhere!

A HUGE thanks to Kreutz Creek Vineyards and Winery for inviting us out to their Big Bang BBQ today! A good time was had by all and our pups got rave reviews!

Thanks to all who helped make our 7th Annual Flea Market a success!

The first-ever Dog Show at Second Nature Farm in Oxford, PA was a hit!  We got so many compliments on what a great time people had!  This show was well organized yet totally laid back at the same time.  Proceeds benefited the Second Nature Farm Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) Team with a portion being donated to CompAnimals.  Dogs with diversity were celebrated – one minute we watched agility, the next minute pie-eating.  Keep an eye out for another event in Fall 2015.

The first in the Rocky James Foundation series was a success!  The February 26, 2015 event focused on Pet CPR & Basic First Aid.  The next event is being planned for May 2015.

Rocky James was a very special English Bulldog who was adopted from CompAnimals by founder, Kimm Doddato at the age of 5.  Rocky went on to live six more wonderful years and overcame many health ailments through the proactive care of Kimm.  The Rocky James Foundation, established in his memory, will spread awareness as well as assist those who would like to provide critical care for their pets but are unable to financially.

Special thanks to Dr. KimMi Whitehead, VMD, a critical care specialist at the Veterinary Specialty Center of Delaware, and Christy McDowell, LVT, VTS (ECC), specialty nurse.  They demonstrated canine and feline resuscitation, providing hands on practice for attendees.  They also demonstrated how to identify sudden illness or poisoning, how to help a choking pet, how to check rates (pulse, temperature and breathing) and emergency action steps to take until medical care is sought.

Thanks too to Dog Dayz Daycare for hosting the event!

Quoting attendees:

• Really had a good time last Thursday night.  The speakers were excellent and the whole program very informative.
• Skippy was a great help with the presentations.  What a crowd-pleaser!
