October is Pit Bull Awareness Month, so the Friends of the Burlington County Animal Shelter are hosting Pit Bull Awareness Day at the shelter on Saturday, Oct. 26.
There will be a bake sale, play groups with adoptable pit bulls, a costume contest for pit bulls, dog toy making, and a photo booth for you and your dogs.
Best of all, adoption fees are waived for approved adopters on all adult pitties and pit mixes, plus adult cats (because they need love, too).

After a high-intake weekend at the shelter, rescues, including the Burlington County Animal Alliance (BCAA), were asked to help the shelter handle the cat and kitten overload. BCAA foster parents pulled 10 kittens that day and one of them was a cute tuxedo kitty. Due to his crazy antics in his foster home, he was appropriately named Tony Stark. Two months later, BCAA found Tony his loving forever home! His new mom says: "He was playing in the cushions -- it was very cute. Our house has been re-energized with this high voltage bundle of joy.
