Baywater Animal Rescue Hosts Community Baby Shower


No one attending this baby shower needs to worry about constructing frilly bouquets from used ribbons or whether their gift is the absolute cutest. This baby shower is for puppies and kittens, so all eyes will be on the irresistible fur balls, and the cuteness quotient will already be through the roof.

The Baby Shower takes place Saturday April 21, from 1-3 PM at Baywater Animal Rescue’s shelter - 4930 Bucktown Rd. Cambridge. People are asked to stop in during the event. No appointments or reservations are needed.

Litters full of puppies and kittens have already started arriving at Baywater Animal Rescue (formerly Dorchester Humane Society). Baywater has its hands full and needs the public’s help to make sure it’s prepared for all of its babies’ needs. They are asking people to attend its baby shower or volunteer to be a foster home. Refreshments will be served and door prizes given out.

Attendees are asked to bring a gift for a puppy or kitten. Wrapping is not necessary. Besides foster homes, the youngsters need canned kitten and puppy food, kitten milk replacer, toys, towels and blankets. Baywater also needs paper towels, bleach, and dishwashing detergent.  Donations will also be gladly accepted. Please make checks payable to Baywater Animal Rescue or donate on-line www.baywateranimalrescue.org. 

Each year, about 25 million puppies and kittens are born in the U.S., far exceeding the number of available homes and overcrowding our nation’s shelter system, according to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Baywater encourages everyone to spay/neuter their pets.
