Update Flea market

Volunteer Queentje took care of the bar and the money - she did a great job

Shelter Staff member, Greta Kooistra writes that the Animal Shelter Flea Market on Saturday, August 14, earned NAƒ 2.500 with the sale of books, household items and clothes. And NAƒ 168 was donated. All this money goes to help keep our Shelter open for homeless cats and dogs.

Old friends met, new people made friends, the animals were delighted with all the attention and five dogs and five cats found loving homes so it was a wonderful day for everyone!

Thanks to all who participated and especially to all those volunteers who got all the hundreds and hundreds of items organized and together and managed the day!

Terrible Ticks…

Zonnig Bonaire — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 18:43:41 +0000

This morning we found a dog in the drop off cage outside the Animal Shelter. A very sweet dog! We named her Ella.
There was one big problem with Ella…… She was covered with ticks. As you can see on the pictures, her ears were fully covered with those parasites. Terrible!
Of course we gave her a bath and medication. Dogs can get very sick form those mean parasites and get tick disease. On Bonaire we call it Karpatten disease and dogs can actually die from this.

We do everything to cure Ella. And of course we keep you updated!

Today August 21, is International Homeless Animals’ Day

Zonnig Bonaire — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 15:36:09 +0000

In 1992, ISAR introduced National Homeless Animals’ Day as an educational vehicle to raise awareness of the pet overpopulation epidemic and its simple solution to spay and neuter.

This special day was introduced with a purpose of informing society of a tragedy that overwhelms animal shelters (also on Bonaire) each year – pet overpopulation.
