To Thank You for All Your Good Work
Please join the Barkyard for PET TALES DAY, an event honoring Anne Neville (Buffalo News Pet Tales columnist) and encouraging pet adoption. We are inviting all local rescue groups to participate in this public awareness opportunity. Pets of all kinds are also welcome! Organizations may set up their tables, tents, etc, inside or outside the Barkyard, understanding that only spayed/neutered dogs can be inside.
We are also inviting food vendors, including Lloyd’s Taco Truck and James the Ice Cream Cycle Guy.
While this is not specifically a fundraising event, organizations are welcome to accept donations, distribute flyers, recruit volunteers, and raise interest in their own fundraising events. You and your group do good work for animals and pet adoptions. Please help us get the word out! Post this on your websites and Facebook pages.
For more information, please contact the Barkyard at info@thebarkyard.org or call (716) 281-0303
THANKS SO MUCH!!!

The Barkyard will be conducting our yearly cleanup, “Back to Stool,” on Sunday, September 26th at 10:00 a.m. The park will be open, but volunteers will be roaming the park cleaning up any overlooked “deposits.” You’re welcome to come volunteer. For more info, feel free to email us at volunteer@thebarkyard.org, or simply meet us there!
We would like to thank everyone who came out and enjoyed a wonderful Sunday at The Barkyard. Everybody had a fantastic time watching demonstrations, doing some “pawlates” (pilates for dogs), and trying out the dog-agility equipment.
Join the Niagara Frontier Veterinary Society and Pet Emergency Fund at the Barkyard, to celebrate the National Pet Week theme of “Pets & People Healthy Together,” Sunday, May 2, 2010 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Canine Sports Complex will be presenting agility demonstrations, and there will be games and prizes for pets (and their people, too)! This is a free event. For more information, contact the Niagara Frontier Veterinary Society. You may also download the event flyer (PDF).
The decision to enter the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and create a float was all done within a week. Needless to say, we were very excited to hear that our entry was selected by the Parade Committee as the Best Community Parade Float! The Barkyard would like to thank the sponsor of the Parade, the United Irish American Association, as well as the trophy sponsors. The Bishop Timon Trophy, awarded in memory of Catherine M. O’Brien, was sponsored by the Friends of Mark Schroeder. Unfortunately, the dogs couldn’t be with us to accept the beautiful trophy, but it will be on display at the Ellicott Small Animal Hospital for all to sniff and see!
The Barkyard will be in the Buffalo Saint Patrick’s Day Parade, come out and show your Irish pride!
It’s time for some Spring cleaning, so we’re looking forward to seeing some friendly volunteers willing help us out. This year, cleanup will take place on April 11, at 10:00 a.m.
As we did last year, join us at The Barkyard at LaSalle Park, bring some plastic bags, your scooper or shovel, and help us keep the park a safe and enjoyable place for dogs and humans alike.
Your kindness will be rewarded with slobbery kisses, wet noses, and perhaps some coffee and donuts!

As in the past, your kindness will be rewarded with sloppy kisses, wet noses, and maybe even some coffee and donuts!

The Barkyard hasn’t learned to clean up after itself and it could use a bath (so to speak). We’re looking for some friendly, energetic and not-so-easily-offended volunteers to help with a little spring cleaning.
Join us at The Barkyard at LaSalle Park, bring some plastic bags, your scooper or shovel, and help us maintain a safe and enjoyable place for dogs and humans alike.
Your kindness will be rewarded with sloppy kisses, wet noses, and maybe even some coffee and donuts!
