    Bark in the Park (Durham Bulls) RESCHEDULED

    6:35 pm-9:00 pm
    09/23/2021
    Durham Bulls Athletic Park
    409 Blackwell St, Durham, NC 27701, USA

    PLEASE NOTE: Due to inclement weather expected Sept. 22, the Bulls have moved the Bark in the Park game to the next night, Thursday, September 23. Your 9/22 tickets will still be honored on 9/23!

     

    Bark in the Park is back! Bring your best four-legged friend to enjoy the Durham Bulls baseball game with you–the sale of each dog ticket is donated by the Bulls to the animals here at Second Chance, so it’s a great time for a great cause!

    Tickets for the 2021 season are on sale now HERE. You must purchase tickets in sections 124, 126, 128, 130, 132, or 134, and you must purchase a ticket for your dog.

    The pertinent things to know related to COVID-19 are:

    1. With the NC governor having lifted restrictions on capacity, the stadium will be operating at full capacity if the game sells out. However, there are still options for socially-distanced pod seating on a first-come, first-served basis (the Bulls may remove this option at any time).
    2. Consistent with CDC guidelines and local laws, the Bulls no longer require vaccinated guests to wear masks. They do encourage those who are not vaccinated to wear a mask unless you are actively eating or drinking. The Bulls do not ask for proof of vaccination.

    As usual, Second Chance volunteers will be ready and excited to “pet sit” your pup while you access parts of the stadium where non-service dogs are not allowed (food and drinks, restrooms, and so on).

    Second Chance and the Durham Bulls appreciate your cooperation and patience as we navigate these changes in a new world–your safety and the well-being of Second Chance and Bulls personnel are our priority!

    Black Dog Bottle Shop Anniversary Party

    12:00 pm-7:00 pm
    09/25/2021
    Black Dog Bottle Shop
    140 W. Holly Springs Rd., Holly Springs, NC 27540

    Black Dog Bottle Shop, one of our partners in rescue, is turning three years old this month! (You know, officially 21 in dogs years). 2020 was a no-go for an anniversary party, so you are invited to come to hang out with them (and us) this year, Saturday, September 25, from 12:00 to 7:00 p.m. EST to celebrate and say “thank you”! Pups are welcome and encouraged!

    All of your favorites will be behind the bar; breweries will be on-site with their goods; Catherine & Steve, the Black Dog Bottle Shop owners, will be in the dunk tank! All proceeds from the dunk tank will benefit the animals of Second Chance Pet Adoptions. And you’ll see some (adoptable) furry friends from noon to 6:00! (That’s a long day for any given doggo so they’ll be coming in shifts throughout the event.)

    Capone’s Chicago Eats Food Truck will be present, and there will be plenty more shenanigans planned as the date gets closer. Mark your calendars, friends…this is going to be FUN!
