The recent earthquakes and tsunami in Japan have caused so much devastation. Many people lost their lives, and all of their possessions. There is another tragedy, however, that is not generating as much attention: the loss of the animals. The Humane Society of the United States has a team that is helping with those who have lost their furry family members. If you would like to read more, and help if you can, please read their article:

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011Think You May Be Able To Foster?
Thursday, February 19th, 2009If 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:
