Way
to Go - Tri-City
Americans!!!
The BFHS would like to congratulate
its partner, the Tri-City
Americans, on their best season in franchise
history. The Ams set franchise records for wins and points in
the regular season, won their first-ever U.S. Division title and
the Scotty Munro Trophy for best record in the WHL. Thanks to
the players, coaches, and staff for a great year!

BFHS. See the story on

BFHS Goes Home Again
The Benton-Franklin Humane
Society is pleased to announce it has switched microchips to
the "Home Again" brand. Effective immediately, all
animals taken into our "no-kill" shelter will be
implanted with a "Home Again" chip. For about the
same cost we are paying now, we will be able to provide the
following new features through "Home Again":
Advanced Anti-Migrating Microchip, Proactive Pet Recovery
Network, Lost Pet Alerts, Personalized Lost Pet Posters, 24/7
Emergency Medical Care, Lost Pet Insurance and Pet ID Cards.
Not to mention, it will easier to register information on the
adopter after the animal leaves our shelter. And by making
this conversion, the BFHS now has the capability to scan ALL
brands of microchips, including AKC-registered chips.
"When weighing our
options, this was a no-brainer", says Ed Dawson, BFHS
Operations Manager. "For roughly the same cost, we are
now able to offer more services through our partnership
with "Home Again". "For about $5 per chip, our
customers will have better piece of mind, our animals will
have better protection, and we will have the ability to
reunite more lost animals with their owners."
