Hi everyone,

I have not been on in so long I have been really busy with a dog rescue in my area called Barlees Angles Rescue net work. I have been fostering a dog for them and helping plan a large event. I thought I would let you guys know about it as well as I know theirs dog lovers here!

I wanted to let everyone know in Ontario about this awesome rescue and the event that is coming up this weekend the 26!! I would love to meet people from here as well if your in the area Please think about coming out it should be lots of fun :)

Here is the info about the event copied from our event page.
You're invited to the BIGGEST BADDEST event of the doggy world this year! Sponsored by EMERALD LAKE RV RESORT & WATER PARK and STARBUCKS - featuring more items for silent auction than we've had at any previous event! GREAT deals to be had, tons of fun, and your own chance to get up close and personal with those awesome orphans and alumni you've seen go through rescue, and their adopters/fosters (and the people behind Barlee's Angels too!).

Barleepalooza 2015 is our annual fundraiser, BBQ and Alumni Reunion. For the third year we are hosting at Emerald Lake RV Resort & Waterpark in Puslinch, just off Highway 6, a little bit South of the 401. Thank you to Emerald Lake for providing a great venue for us to have... our event, rain or shine!
