Seniors Showcase 2012

"The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them. That's the essence of inhumanity."

--George Bernard Shaw

About Us

Canine Liaisons' Seniors Showcase is a fund-raising event held for local animal rescue organizations in and around Bucks County, Pennsylvania. This contest is open to licensed non-profit organizations which register for the Lower Southampton Animal Control Advisory Board ( www.LSACAB.org ) Pet Fair. Those organizations may enter one contestant in each of the canine and feline categories. Each contestant must be currently available for adoption (or in foster hospice care), and aged 5 years or older.

We have created this web site to host the photos and biographical information on each animal (see Voting Booth), so that donations of a minimum of one dollar can be made in exchange for a vote for any one animal. Multiple votes are allowed and encouraged. Voting culminates from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm on the day of the Pet Fair (April 30, 2011). The money collected online and at the event is presented to the rescue organization which sponsors the winning animal with the most votes in their category.

Jean L. Tomaselli-Dawkins, owner of Canine Liaisons Behavior & Training Services has been working with domestic animals in Bucks County and the surrounding areas for more than 20 years. She is one of the most qualified trainers in the area, with the distinction of being a sought-after instructor for other trainers. Jean loves to help local rescue organizations in any way that she can, not just with pro bono training services, but with events like "Seniors Showcase 2011."

Diane M. Clark has been working with Jean since 2007 and has been an animal advocate and rescue volunteer since 1987. Diane is a communications expert, having received her Bachelor's degree from The Pennsylvania State University, with over fifteen years' work experience in education, print and web media, client management, and animal handling. Diane has worked with many local rescue organizations doing animal-related educational seminars, newsletter articles, blog posts, and fundraising event coordination. Diane is currently working on receiving her CPDT-KA and is pursuing a PhD in Humane Education.

Special Thanks to Suzanna Schiefer for hours and hours …of her special expertise; not the least of which is her ability to make us laugh.

In continuing to work with animals in need, we honor the memories of Baylee, Brandy, Lady, Sammi, and Buttons.

Pet Fair motto: "Until there are none, adopt one!"

Prize Winners

Senior animals deserve to live out their lives in comfort, with assured meals, care for their aches and pains, and of course, the love of a devoted caregiver. We want to thank every rescue and volunteer that gives these animals what they need when their families cannot.

Thank you all so much for allowing us to showcase these senior animals and for donating so selflessly for their care.
