Rescuing Dogs, a Block Party and All around Badassery? We're IN!

We love to see folks in the 'hood doing great things, especially when it comes to four-legged friends.

Let me tell you a little about Sara.

Sara started an independent dog rescue called Badass Brooklyn Foster Dog about 6 months ago, AND is a documentary filmmaker who lives right here in the Slope. The pups she rescues are mostly from high-kill, rural shelters in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Kentucky, and she's doing most of the leg work herself (unpaid), along with a group of other documentary filmmakers from around Brooklyn who have recently joined her. Sara typically houses 2-4 dogs in her 1 bedroom apartment in addition to her own beagle, so she needs some help. Here's how we can do our part...

This SATURDAY, she's putting on a fundraiser at her annual block party here in the nabe, complete with a great silent auction (including, but not limited to: professional dog photography, a weekend retreat for your pup, professional training, and treats from Butter Lane!), and lots of info on how you can get involved. 

Here's the info, and all are welcome:

Badass Brooklyn Foster Dog Adoption Event and Fundraiser
Sat Sept 24 10am-6pm
at the 12th Street Block Party between 8th ave and PPW

If you can't make the event this Saturday, contact badassbrooklynfosterdog@yahoo.com about how you can get involved, donate time, and help her out!
