Join us for HOCUS FOHCAS - a fun night with your best pet friend at Bourbon Barrel Tavern in downtown E'town on "Third Thursday", October 19th 4-8pm.

Bring your pet in costume (feel free to come in costume too). There is no fee to enter AND you could win a prize! Categories for pet costume judging are scariest, most creative and best group (animal or animal/human group). We reserve the right to disqualify any costume that is disrespectful to anyone else. Also, humans, we really prefer not to see "sexy" versions of anything please.

Dogs, cats and other small pets are welcome as long as they are leashed or otherwise contained and are ok with other animals in the same space. We don't need any bar room brawls, so if your pet prefers his/her space other-animal free, this won't be the best place for them.

Sign up for the costume contest by 6pm. Judging starts at 6:30pm and winners will be announced at 7pm.

We look forward to seeing you at BBT on October 19th!

“Give while we’re living”

Bill Schaffrick is an incredible man and inspiration. A 98-year-old veteran of World War II, who fought during the Battle of the Bulge, Mr. Schaffrick started a foundation with his amazing family to give back to their community.

We are deeply honored to have been selected by the Schaffrick Family Charitable Foundation to receive $22,000 that will go directly to our mission of making our community a safer, more caring place for animals.

The money is so crucial to our continued work, but the faith of partners like the Schaffricks in us and in what we do is even more humbling.

Words aren’t sufficient to express our gratitude to this family and the man who has been a living example of selflessness. What a gift it was to meet him. May we all strive to “give while we’re living” in any way we can.
