Honoring Three Pup Rescue MomsWho Have Long Advocated

for Pet Rescue and Rallied Support of TCAR

BOCA RATON, Fla. (March 7, 2021) Since there are all types of devoted, loving moms, Tri-County Animal Rescue (TCAR) will launch Mother’s Day week by celebrating “paw-loving” moms at its Inaugural Moms & Pups “Bark & Brunch,” an elegant, outdoor “fun and fund” raiser on Sunday, May 2 at The Addison in Boca Raton from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.  Addressing a timely growing Covid-impacted community wellness need, “Bark & Brunch” proceeds will be directed toward TCAR’s
Medical Fund that subsidizes low-cost, full-service veterinary and animal hospital services at TCAR for pet owners who are financially challenged or experiencing economic setbacks due to Covid-19, as well as first responders.

To support their Boca Raton community’s only animal rescue shelter, “Bark & Brunch” attendees will enjoy an open-air, courtyard plated brunch and festivities for Pup Moms, their fur babies who are invited guests and their families. Plans include live music, free-flowing Bloody Mary and Bellini bars, a delicious doggie buffet, Mom & Pooch photo ops, raffles, Mother’s Day boutique gift shopping, giveaways and pampering swag bags. High-profile Boca Raton Pup Rescue Moms Marta Batmasian, Andrea Kline and Constance Scott will be honored that day who have long advocated for pet rescue and support of TCAR. All will be done in strict adherence to CDC, state and local Covid-19 guidelines.

Another Way to Show “Mom & Pup” Love:

Gift Them a Chance-to-Win a “KARMA Luxury Weekend”


Whether pup lovers can attend or not, they can support TCAR and its services by purchasing a Chance-to-win “KARMA Luxury Weekend” ticket that includes three-day use of the all-new KARMA Revero GT electric vehicle with a two-night stay at The Breakers Palm Beach. Tickets are limited to 100 tickets priced at $100 each.

This ‘Bark & Brunch’ fundraiser is poised to become an annual way to launch Mother’s Day week to provide low-cost surgeries, x-rays, ultrasounds, dental care, etc. at its state-of-the-art, on-campus clinic to loving pet owners who are experiencing financial difficulties. All provided because TCAR believes that all pets should remain healthy in their homes, not forced to neglect treatable medical and dental issues that can escalate out of control causing unnecessary pain and loss or even surrendered to shelters due to lack of funds.

As one of the largest regional 100% No-Kill, 501C (3), nonprofit animal shelters, TCAR is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing unwanted pets in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. Since its inception, TCAR, a four-star rated Charity Navigator nonprofit, has saved over 69,000 domestic animals from being euthanized, providing a safe haven until each rescue is given the chance to live the rest of their lives as treasured pets.

To date, “Bark & Brunch” sponsors include Marta & Jim Batmasian Family Foundation, ADT, Suzanne Klein, Andrea Kline, Constance Scott, Sharon DiPietro, The Breakers Palm Beach, KARMA Palm Beach, Stanley Steemer Services, Kaye Communications, Duch Floral Designs, Cinnaholic Boca Raton, Minuteman Press/Boca Raton, Cristino Chocolates.
