2008 Winners!!!
Battlefield Harley Davidson Pet Photo Contest

Let's give a hand to the 2008 Battlefield Harley Davidson Pet Photo Contest Winners!!! The competition was tough and we thank all of the participants and the voters for the support of the Adams County SPCA. We could not do what we do without the support of caring people like yourselves. Over the years, the Battlefield Harley Davidson has given the ACSPCA and other worthy organizations much needed and appreciated support. One such fundraising event is the Annual Pet Photo Contest with all proceeds going to the Adams County SPCA. Each year there are more and more photos of animals (cats, dogs, iguanas - you name it) all dressed up in Harley gear or just their cute selves. Some of the animals have also been adopted from the ACSPCA. We, the staff and the animals thank the Battlefield Harley Davidson and the voters for their continued support!!! Here are the winners for 2008!!!

Grand Prize Winner!!

In the weeks preceding the PA Week for the Animals, teachers and students in participating classrooms across the state are invited to take part in a children's Art and Essay contest on the subject of "Buddy Unchained." Through their artwork and writing, kids are asked to have Buddy the Chained Dog explain how he feels being chained outside all alone, and why he wants to come inside and live with the family. Stories may also include Harriet the Cat helping.

The movement to free dogs from a life on a chain is growing rapidly nationwide; it is now well recognized that chaining is not only inhumane to dogs but dangerous to people as well. Many communities and states now have laws limiting, or banning, chaining.

Our art/essay contest is to help bring awareness of this to Pennsylvania's children. The artwork & essays will be displayed at Adams County SPCA in Gettysburg. There will be 3 winners selected from the Art entries and 3 winners from the essay entries -Each of the 6 winning children will be recognized at the Awards Ceremony & Open House on Monday, September 22nd. Each child will also be awarded a copy of the wonderful book "Buddy Unchained," from the nationally recognized non-profit organization Dogs Deserve Better, which advocates against chaining. "Buddy Unchained" is the ASPCA Henry Bergh Award Winner in the Companion Animal Category for 2007 and also the HSUS 2007 KIND Children's book Award Winner.

This event features great ethic food, outstanding musical entertainment and a full afternoon of childrens'activities. There will be a number of unique craft demonstrations. The SPCA will be there with an information table, raffle tickets and adoptable animals.
