Paws for a Cause with MBK
For the month of October, Francine Murphy & Chelsea Russell held a pet drive to benefit Better Together Dog Rescue located in Belchertown, MA and Berkshire Humane Society located in Pittsfield, MA. Working together and with firm-wide help, we were able to deliver food, toys, treats, and other supplies for dogs & cats to each facility – an entire table full of donations!
To bring some fun & excitement towards the cause, we also held a pet costume contest where MBK employees posted pictures of their pets in their Halloween costumes to share with the firm and any guests who came to the office. Costumes ranged from pumpkins & witches to superhero pups & princesses with a dinosaur and teddy bear in the mix, too! And, let’s not forget about the cowboy cop and coffee & donut costumes!
Better Together Dog Rescue
A dedicated team of professionals bringing change to the animal welfare field. We believe no healthy or adoptable dog should be euthanized due to lack of space. Dogs should be with their families and life circumstances should not stand in the way. To prevent dogs from being surrendered to the shelters, we will provide resources and supplies for our community members so their beloved dog can stay with them, right where they belong.
Our Goals:
- Rescue and transport dogs to our location from overcrowded partner shelters.
- Engage with the community through adoption and volunteer and fostering opportunities.
- Provide resources to the community through our mobile dog food and supply pantry.
- Collaborate with local veterinarians for low-cost or free spay/neuter, vaccinations and microchips
- Crisis Foster program will provide free temporary housing for dogs of owners who are involved with domestic violence, military active leave, homelessness and sudden medical issues. Give back to our partner shelters to help stop the euthanasia of healthy and adoptable dogs.
