GLEN ROCK NJ , Stag House, a full-service barbershop and salon headquartered in Glen Rock, NJ, announced they are partnering with the Bergen County Protect and Rescue Foundation (BC Protect & Rescue), an all-volunteer, non-profit, no-kill shelter, to run a town-wide dog adoption on Saturday, February 3, 2018, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.228 Rock Rd, Glen Rock, NJ.

“BC Protect & Rescue works to save pets from being euthanized or even homeless. A huge part of our mission is giving back to the community. What better way than to help give a pet a “furever” home, especially during a time when shelters are experiencing an influx of dogs from the holidays,” says Stag House co-owner Christine Modica. “We are also very excited to announce several other Glen Rock Businesses who are participating: Merve’s Kitchen and BakeryPainting with a TwistFrancesca Brick Oven Pizza & Pasta, Rock Row Jewelry, Glen Rock Veterinary Hospital, Glen Rock InnProminent Tickets and The Curious Reader.”

Bergen County Protect and Rescue is a No-Kill Animal Welfare Facility located in Cliffside Park. It was founded in 2012 by Bergen County’s very own local Animal Control Agency and concerned citizens. The idea of creating a no-kill facility came to be when animal control officers were forced to take lost and abandoned animals to surrounding veterinarians and animal shelters.

Rachel Israel, Stag House Co-Owner adds, “Several of our stylists and barbers, including myself, have adopted pets in our homes, so this is a really special day for Stag House. In addition to the adoptions, our newest Doe.Tique stylist, Vanessa Hettishiemer, will donate 50 percent of her bookings that day for blowouts.”

Stag House prides itself on supporting the community and using local businesses, products and services to promote each other. For more information visit https://www.njstaghouse.com/ or call (201) 670-0110. To donate to BC Protect & Rescue, visit: https://bcrescues.org/donate.html.
