This 4th of July
weekend, keep your animals INSIDE your house in the evening.
Cats and dogs get spooked easily when fireworks are going off in
your neighborhood. Aside from the stress on our pets,
firecrackers and other noise-makers can cause them to bolt from
your yard.

Another Fundraising Success!
3rd Annual
Hertz Car Sales "Autos For Animals" Event
During the three-day
sale, from June 6-8, Hertz sold 21 cars, which means $2100.00
for BFHS. We also had an adult dog go out for a
three-day trial.
Thanks to the staff and
management at Hertz Car Sales and to the volunteers who helped
with another great event.

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."

BFHS has
run out of room. Actually, we have been very
short on space for years. It is time to build a new
shelter to take care of the burgeoning population of
animals needing a place to call a temporary home. We
need more room for other animal welfare activities as
well, such as Spay-Neuter, obedience training, meet &
greet, and so on. Look for more news of our campaign
to raise funds for a new Humane Society shelter.
