Big Camper of the Week - Mookie Brotmann

Mookie is a happy go lucky lab mix who loves to play on the jungle gym. He is full of energy and is able to let it all out when he comes to camp. His big smile tells it all.

Little Camper of the Week - Lee Hurley

Lee is a handsome boy who loves to play with the kong toys. He frequently takes advantage of the stay and play package so he can spend the day with his friends and rest in his suite at night when his mommy goes away. Lee especially loves to play with all his fellow bulldogs in camp.

Greyhounds Need Homes

Many greyhound racetracks, including those in the Northeast, are closing due to the poor ecomony or new state regulations. As a result, hundreds of greyhounds are in need of new homes. NY Fox 5 did a story on the most recent greyhounds released from a MA racetrack to Greyhound Rescue and Rehabilitation. The 6 greyhounds shown in the story will be boarding at Best Friends Pet Care in White Plains until foster homes or their forever homes are available.
