Life, Liberty and...the Pursuit of Treats!

Greetings dog friends, friends of dogs and cats,

July 4th is upon us, ah...freedom to splash around in the swimming pool, enjoy bits of BBQ'd hot dogs dropped on the ground and to lay my back on the grass and wriggle around to get a good back scratch! Independence is an pawsome thing, but not all dog friends get to celebrate this holiday or any other holiday.

Some dogs live in what is commonly known as a "Puppy Mill". They exist only to make more little puppies, living their whole life in a cage, never knowing what it's like to have grass under their feet or a big hug from a human.

What these dogs need is a friend, a best friend in fact and lucky for them, they have one in Best Friends Animal Society. BF's (we're on an abbreviated basis) is working to give these dogs what they deserve, freedom!

If you're feeling patriotic and want to do something to help, join us and four major U.S. cities in an Independence Paw'rade this Saturday, July 2nd!

 • Bring your furry pal along and you'll get a free red, white & blue bandana for him/her.
• There will be a historic reading of the "pro-claw-mation" declaring that all dogs deserve good homes (always makes me cry a little).
• Enjoy a walk with dog-oriented, family fun after.
• You'll meet adorable, available doggies from shelters and rescue groups! Crazy block party!!
 • AND, Rosie's Barkery will be there selling delicious treats with 20% of the proceeds going to help out our little buddies stuck in cages.
