Dear Friend,

Since 2012, Friends of Burlington County Animal Shelter, 501(c)(3) has been committed to saving the lives of the homeless animals that enter the counties only open intake shelter. Whether paying for advanced medical care, low cost spay & neuter assistance, foster programs and overall enrichment, we have one goal in mind....a second chance. 

On Saturday, October 4th, 2025, we will proudly host our 8th annual Paw Prints Pet Festival and 5K at beautiful Smithville Park in Eastampton, NJ. Our expected attendance is 6,000+ attendees. With over 3,990 animals entering the shelter last year, our goal is to raise $75,000 for life-saving procedures and programs. 

Our organization depends on the generosity of our donor community and we truly appreciate your support. A donation of product, gift card, service, tickets or basket would be most appreciated for our basket raffle. Not only is this a great way to advertise, but your show of support also demonstrates your love of animals to your customers. Please send any items you wish to share to our Vice President, Ann Rapisarda, 5 Wellington Drive, Lumberton, NJ 08048. Or if local, please email her at annrap@friendsofbcas.org to schedule a pick up. You also can mail to the address on our website. 

Should you have any questions about Friends of Burlington County Animal Shelter, please visit or website, www.friendsofbcasorg or send us an email at annrap@freiendsofbcas.org 

On behalf of the animals, we thank you!
