BAF Cookbooks!

I just wanted to inform everybody about BAF’s new fundraiser- a cookbook! A wonderful lady named Diana Franceschi is willing to put a lot of time and effort into making this cookbook for us all to enjoy. To start this thing off, we need a couple of things.

First off, we need to find people to sponsor the fundraiser by placing an ad in the cookbook. You can place a personal ad (to honor or in memory of a person or pet), or businesses are welcome to put their ad in it. There are 1/4 page (business card size), 1/3 page, 1/2 page, and full page ads available. You can put any number of words or pictures as long as they fit on the alotted space. All ads will be in black and white– no color. Please e-mail Diana Franceschi (dfranceschi@kanesbenator.com) for pricing and other details. We are hoping to recruit enough ads to pay for the printing of the actual cookbook. That way, the money we make selling the books will 100% benefit the Briarcliff Animal Foundation.

Second, we need you guys to send us recipes. We are asking for a donation of $5 per recipe. Please contact Diana for more details (dfranceschi@kanesbenator.com). We would prefer the donations to be in check form– no cash please (this is much easier to keep up with). Please make your check out to ‘Briarcliff Animal Foundation Cookbook’. Please let me know if you have any questions. We are hoping to have enough recipes by the end of December to start the process of actually making the cookbooks at the beginning of 2010.

If you know anybody who may be interested in putting an ad, donating a recipe, or buying a cookbook once they come out, please have them contact Diana.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE INTERESTED OR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THANKS!

Welcome to Briarcliff Animal Foundation!

We work hard to care for animals in need and appreciate your help and assistance in this endeavor.

It is surprising, the number of animals who suffer abuse, starvation, neglect and general maladies from life in the wild or on the streets.  The numbers are staggering at times, and we are working to alleviate some of the pain and suffering that occurs on a daily basis in the Southeastern USA, and in particular in Atlanta, where we, and most of our patients live.

We are an IRS designated 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization, so your donations can be written off.  We welcome them all, from $5.00 to $5,000, as all funding will be put to good use.  We are experiencing a minor crisis financially in 2008, because of an influx of abuse and neglect animals from Fulton County Animal Services, and the apparent closing of an apartment complex that left many animals with gunshot wounds, scaldings, and abandoned.  We are well beyond comfortable capacity to care for them at the moment, and need your help.

Please, if you can, donate and participate in the care of our four legged people, as how we care for them, reflects who we truly are as humans.

Thank you for taking the time to visit us, and we look forward to your input and participation.

Think You May Be Able To Foster?

If you cannot adopt any of our adoptable pets or give monetary donations to Briarcliff Animal Foundation, but still want to help, please consider fostering. Fostering can be one of the most rewarding experiences. Briarcliff Animal Foundation will pay for food and any medical expenses, and all you have to do is treat this pet like it is part of your family until we find it a “forever” home. You may have this foster pet anywhere from a week to a couple of months, or even longer in some cases. For more information, please e-mail Lindsay at lhyatt@thebac.net or Richard at Rfischhof@thebac.net. Our goal is to get all of our adoptable pets out of the kennels and into foster homes until they find permanent homes. The pets who need foster homes are: 

*Smokey

*Sandy

*Simon

*Mother Theresa

*Amber

*Harry

*Xavier

*Bella (Jane)

*Duke

*Frank (e-mail for details)

*Crooke

*Fishy

*Joker

*Marqi

*Charity (e-mail for details)

For more information about any of these pets, please look on our petfinder webpage.

Steps for becoming a foster parent:

1. Contact Richard Fischhof (fish-off) at Briarcliff Animal Clinic (404-874-6393). You may also contact Michael Chapman at 404-378-1375.
2. Set up a home inspection with Richard Fischhof or Michael Chapman.
3. Meet the adoptable animals. (can be done before the home inspection)
4. Choose an animal to foster.
5. Take your foster pet home!
6. Make sure that you exercise and socialize your foster pet.
7. Enjoy your foster pet until we find it a permanent home!
