Announcing Our 2018 Charity: South Hills Pet Rescue

Anthrocon is pleased to announce that South Hills Pet Rescue will be our beneficiary for 2018’s charity efforts. The following is a summary from South Hills Pet Rescue that summarizes their mission and efforts: Nick Ferraro ran South Hills Pet Resort, a boarding and training facility, and purchased it in 2012. Ashley Rittle was having a hard time with her dog, and called Nick to request his training services. Little did they know the adventure ahead; they were married in June 2013, and that August, they were asked to help a local animal rescue that had been overwhelmed with dogs pulled from high-kill shelters set to be euthanized for behavioral issues.

Hello world!

New year, new con, new website. Thanks to the efforts of our webmaster leopard Giza and our (mostly) tame graphics artist Cuprohastes, we have a thrilling new website to show off! Why a new site if the old one works? The old one works… kind of. Essentially it was getting harder to maintain, and with the rise in mobile web browsing was starting to become unwieldy and fall behind. With over half of all internet activity performed on phones or tablets, the existing website was re-evaluated: The old website on a 1080x1920 display is at the bottom of this post.
