ANNUAL BASSET
RESCUE PICNIC
Each year on the first Saturday
of June, Basset Hound Rescue of San Diego holds their annual
fund raising picnic. This year we moved to our new location at
Allied Gardens Park & Recreation Center. The new location
was a great success and offered us more parking and larger areas
of shade where we could all spread out and enjoy the wonderful
events of the day. We hope you made it, but even if you didn't
you can check out our 2008
Picnic Photo Album. Don't miss the good stuff at the
end....Arooohhh.
Families can buy gourmet picnic
food prepared by local restauranteur Deborah Scott or bring picnic
lunches to eat (while they try to keep the dogs away!), swap
amusing stories with fellow Basset enthusiasts, shop at the Basset
Boutique, or enter the raffle to win fabulous prizes.
Bassets frolic in the sun, splash
in a wading pool, get a massage, have their photo taken with
their family, or compete in contests such as best costume, best
howl, longest ears, best trick, owner look-alike, or the ever-popular
basset race.
All donations received at the
picnic go back into the rescue operation. We are now officially
a non-profit organization so your donations are tax deductible!
These funds are needed to cover emergency medical costs, and
any other expenses the dogs may incur prior to adoption that
are not covered by the $200 donation.
