BoardWaddle 2012

2012 BoardWaddleThe 14th annual BoardWaddle will be held on Saturday, April 14th. The bassets are the largest entry in the Ocean City, NJ, Doo Dah Parade. Picnic & games follow the parade. We will once again have food & craft vendors at this event. People really enjoyed the addition last year, so we're going to keep with it. The Basset Olympics will take place on Friday, April 13th, followed by the Friday night Dinner/Pawction.


In the meantime, be sure to book your room at The Residence Inn in Somers Point (directly across the street from the Greate Bay Country Club where the dinner/pawction is held) & register to attend the dinner. We are keeping the prices lower than in past years for the dinner - this year's price is $22 per person with the same great food! We have many exciting pawction items for your bidding pleasure. Have you checked out our Tri-State merchandise trailer? Do you like the wrap with all of the hound photos? Would you like your hound to grace one of the sides of a Tri-State merchandise trailer? Well...... we received another donated trailer! This one is from Brian & Michelle Gardiner & we'll be auctioning off spots on that trailer, as we did last year for our other one. It came out fabulous & if you missed out last year, you now have a second chance at winning! Thank you, Brian & Michelle for the donation! We're sure it will be a big hit again - especially with the first trailer showing off how great it looks.

 

Announcing the Grand Marshall for the 2012 BoardWaddle parade: Lou MacFarlane!

 Lou was brought into rescue as an emaciated senior & you should see him now! You can read more about Lou in the BoardWaddle packet. Please plan on coming to beautiful Ocean City, NJ & cheer on Lou & his slaves as they ride down the streets greeted by adoring fans! And, of course, support the Tri-State Basset Hound Rescue so we can continue to save more hounds! Congratulations, sweet Lou!!

More about Fido Festival:
It’s time to celebrate the joy and privilege of just being a lovable family dog. Fido’s Festival USA® wants to acknowledge the unique gifts and talents of ALL dogs—not just full breeds (Most of us couldn’t pass those requirements either). We’ll introduce your human family to the latest products and philosophies of dog ownership, and raise awareness of rescue and shelter efforts. Who knows, you could have a cousin or five doing time in a cage right now? Maybe we can find yours a guardian. No special training will be required for you to compete in any of our contests or pageants. In fact, maybe we’ll be the first to have a un-pageant for all you anti-Madison Avenue beauties! So fluff up those ears, spike up that beard, and take a lap down our runway of pride! We love all of you.

Learn more about BoardWaddle Weekend!

Ocean City, NJ host a shore season kick-off event called the Doo Dah Parade. Tri-State's portion of the parade, called BoardWaddle, is by far their biggest brigade.

BoardWaddle is a walk-a-thon for homeless basset hounds. Waddlers collect pledges from everyone they know (friends, relatives, doctors, well... everyone!) to help the homeless hounds of New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania and lower New York. The resort town of Ocean City, NJ is the perfect backdrop for this event as the hounds stroll through the streets and up the boardwalk along the Atlantic Ocean!

After the Waddle, all are welcome to join us for our picnic on the practice field behind the Civic Center on 6th street. The picnic features an Arts & Crafts show, food vendors, rescue groups and area shelters, as well as Tri-State's merchandise tent.

This is a fun-filled day for all, hounds and humans!

  • All hounds must be current on vaccines.
  • All owners are responsible for controls of their hounds and for cleaning up after them.
  • Tri-State Basset Hound rescue is not responsible for any damage or harm incurred by or to any hound or person.
  • No sales of animals of any kind are permitted.

    2014 Boardwaddle will be Saturday, April 12

    Ocean City, NJ hosts a shore season kick-off event called the Doo Dah Parade. Tri-State's portion of the parade, called BoardWaddle, is by far their biggest brigade. The BoardWaddle is a walk-a-thon for homeless basset hounds. Waddlers collect pledges from everyone they know (friends, relatives, doctors, well... everyone!) to help the homeless hounds of New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania and lower New York. The resort town of Ocean City, NJ, is the perfect backdrop for this event as the hounds stroll through the streets and up the boardwalk along the Atlantic Ocean!

    After the Waddle, all are welcome to join us for our picnic on the practice field behind the Civic Center on 6th street. The picnic features an Arts & Crafts show, food vendors, rescue groups and area shelters, as well as Tri-State's merchandise tent.

    Awards are presented to the top 10 pledge-getters, and basset hounds compete in games such as best trick, best costume, best float, and the basset look-alike contest.

        BoardWaddle!

        Ocean City, NJ hosts a shore season kick-off event called the Doo Dah Parade. Tri-State's portion of the parade, called BoardWaddle, is by far their biggest brigade. The BoardWaddle is a walk-a-thon for homeless basset hounds. Waddlers collect pledges from everyone they know (friends, relatives, doctors, well... everyone!) to help the homeless hounds of New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania and lower New York. The resort town of Ocean City, NJ, is the perfect backdrop for this event as the hounds stroll through the streets and up the boardwalk along the Atlantic Ocean!

        After the Waddle, all are welcome to join us for our picnic on the practice field behind the Civic Center on 6th street. The picnic features an Arts & Crafts show, food vendors, rescue groups and area shelters, as well as Tri-State's merchandise tent.

        Awards are presented to the top 10 pledge-getters, and basset hounds compete in games such as best trick, best costume, best float, and the basset look-alike contest.

          Yes, it is time to start working on the Tri-State Basset Hound Rescue 2017 wall  calendar featu ring photographs of the adorable basset hounds rescued, adopted,  or fostered by you.

          How do you get your dog’s picture(s) in the calendar?

          1. Visit our online store and reserve your spot! 
            http://www.tristatebassets.org/shop/category?CategoryID=1151
          2. Email your photo(s) to  Chris Martin at TSBHRcalendar@outlook.com 

          When emailing the photos, please include your name and your dog’s name(s) –  only dog’s names will appear in the calendar. Your dog’s photo will be used in  the month that best fits the theme.

          The FIRST 108 photos will be featured (you may submit and pay for  more than one photo). And keep in mind – yes, ALL dogs are adorable, but  basset hounds sell calendars!!! Basset hound mixes work too!!! If you want your  non-basset in the calendar – take a picture of it with your basset hound. And  sorry - NO people in the photos.

          The goal is to have the calendar ready for sales to begin at the September picnic.

          CANCELED - BoardWaddle 2020
          Saturday April 18th, 2020 12:00 PM until 04:00 PM
          Location: Ocean City
          Map: Ocean City NJ 08226

          Dear Supporters, Volunteers, Friends and Followers,

          We were just notified that based on the latest guidance from public health officials, the mayor of Ocean City, NJ has canceled all special events through the end of April to limit the risk of transmitting coronavirus (COVID-19). This unfortunately includes the cancellation of the Doo Dah Parade and therefore Tri-State Basset Hound Rescue's Board   Waddle events are also canceled. Currently, we do not know if Ocean City plans to reschedule, but we will be speaking with our contacts from the city this week to find out more details.

          We are absolutely heartbroken over this situation and honestly we are very concerned about what the rest of the year is going to look like for the rescue. The BoardWaddle is TSBHR's biggest fundraiser annually. We raise thousands of dollars over those 2-days in Ocean City and it literally sets us up to save 300+ Bassets and Basset mixes each year.

          The dogs we save are local from the tri-state area, from various southern states and even from China! Without the thousands in donations coming from the BoardWaddle, we inevitably will have to stop our intake of hounds in need.

          The board is working on a back up plan to try and come up with alternative fundraising efforts. We will keep everyone posted on these details. In the meantime, please consider donating to TSBHR or purchasing a BoardWaddle t-shirt so that we can continue our mission to save the lives of Bassets and Basset mixes. 

          Questions? Email social@tristatebassets.org

          We sincerely thank you for your continued support.
