Dog Rescue Day  
Saturday
June 4, 2016
9am to 1pm
Hello Market Shoppers!
Happy June!
Great weather, great music, great food.  You'll find all of these at the market on Saturday.  Ice cream is perfect for summer weather and we are very excited that Weckerly's will be here.  Their ice cream, made with cream and milk only a few miles from the market, is sublime.

If you listen to NPR you may have heard our own Sue Miller, cheesemaker extraordinaire,interviewed on Radio Times.  You can listen to the interview here. to Be sure to read the listings below so you don't miss them!

More and more produce is coming in and this week- be sure to check out all of the farmers' stands to see what they've harvested.

We have a double header on stage this week.  From 9am to 10am, local teen musicians Alina and Jake will play, followed by perennial favorite Michael Kropp!

See you at the Market!

SPECIAL GUEST:  Yellow Springs Farm
Located just down the road in Chester Springs Farm raises native plants.  This week they will have Swamp Milkweed- a host plant for Monarch butterflies- and other native perennials birds and butterflies love. We will also have Coral Honeysuckle vines-almost always a big draw for Hummingbirds.
 . 


SPECIAL GUEST:  Happy Tails Rescue
Happy Tails Rescue Showcase returns to the market this Saturday!  The Rescue Showcase will invite different animal rescue groups to showcase their adoptable animals on the first Saturday each month throughout the regular market season.  The showcase was created so animal shelters and animal rescue groups can set up at the Phoenixville Farmers' Market, feature adoptable pets, and spread the word about their organizations and the work they each do. 
THIS WEEK'S RESCUES

Brandywine SPCA
 

Founded in 1929, the Brandywine Valley SPCA works to end animal suffering and to involve the entire community in the welfare and well-being of animals. Over the past 10 years, we have saved the lives of almost 26,000 animals.
 
In 2015, the Brandywine Valley SPCA was the first open admission shelter in Pennsylvania to achieve "No Kill" status. We care for nearly 5,000 stray, owner-surrendered, and abused and neglected animals each year, and we are achieving positive results for 94% of the animals that enter our shelter. In 2015, we opened the new Animal Health Center in Malvern which provides full service veterinary care, owner intake and surgeries through the Muhly Spay/Neuter Clinic.

DogsHome
DogsHome is a new and unique nonprofit rescue. What sets us apart from other rescues and shelters is that when you adopt from us, you get a dog who's already trained in the basic skills, and we give you our support throughout the dog's lifetime. Two weeks, two months, two years down the road ... if there's a problem, we're there to help.

 

Also, we're tackling the problem of homelessness from both sides: Not only do we rescue dogs from shelters, but we work to prevent them from being left at shelters in the first place, by going into homes and offering training and management strategies and, if necessary, rehoming the dog.   

At DogsHome, we don't care about breed. We don't care about age. We don't care about color or size or physical condition. We go where we're needed.
