The Independence BrewBQ is pleased to announce our partnership with the Otter Creek Animal Shelter for this year’s event on Saturday, August 24 at Riverwalk Parks.
“The proceeds from this year’s event will benefit the shelter’s medical care and supplies. This includes spay/neuter, senior animal care, dental work, minor medical procedures, vaccines, feline leukemia testing, rabies shots and more. We truly are excited for and appreciate this great opportunity that the Independence BrewBQ is providing us,” said Ronda Reid, Otter Creek Animal Shelter Board president.
The Otter Creek Animal Shelter (formerly the Buchanan County Animal Shelter) was formed by a group of dedicated volunteers who professionally and passionately were concerned about what to do with pets in need. Their initial goal was to build a no-kill animal shelter to take in pets who had owners that were no longer able or willing to care for them in Buchanan County. They also needed a place for residents to take animals who had been abandoned by the owners in rural areas.
The shelter became a 501(c)-3 on April 22, 2011 (DBA Buchanan County Animal Shelter) and the project took off with the donation of 10 acres of land that same year. The shelter opened its doors on August, 19 2018 and is located at 400 North Main Street in Hazleton, Iowa on Hwy 150.
