The Bridge Between Animal Rescue at Hampden
Hampden Clothing, Downtown
314 King Street
Sunday, October 12th
12-5 PM
The Bridge Between Animal Rescue's mission is to help abandoned, neglected, fearful animals by providing necessary vetting and then adopt them into suitable homes. Their belief is that we are the bridge between their past and their future. This includes anyone involved in the animals' rescue journey. Whether you are a rescue, a foster, a transport ride, a shelter volunteer, a donator - you name it. We are all apart of the bridge that gets these animals from one place to the next. They will be at Hampden all day
