  Shelter auction was a big success ! 

  Shelter Manager Marlies Tiepel writes: “We made $15,000 at the Shelter Auction on December 10! This was the most successful fundraising event ever for the Shelter. And actually we made more because a Dutch animal welfare fund, Dierenlot (www.dier.nu), doubled the first $1,750 we raised that evening, so we raised $16,750 ($15,000 + $1,750)!

  We sold 110 dinner tickets for a fantastic Indonesian meal. The chefs were Rosita Paiman, Boudewijn Scholts and Jerry van de Weteringe. The auction was organized by Annemarie Rozendal and she did a great job!
  With the money we made that evening we going to build a totally new cage for the dogs!”

  Shelter Animals Are All Smiles Thanks To All Denture Lab! 

  The “All Denture Lab” (Tandprotetische Praktijk Bonaire N.V.) in Antriol puts beautiful smiles on the faces of the people living on Bonaire. Now they have also put

  beautiful smiles on the faces of the animals at the Bonaire Animal Shelter! The Shelter uses a large amount of towels and cloths every day for cleaning kennels and bathing animals. That adds up to a lot of laundry that must be done each day and they had no washing machine. Thanks to the tremendous generosity of All Denture Lab, the Shelter is now the proud owner of a brand new, fully automatic Maytag washing machine. The Bonaire Animal Shelter and its residents sends a huge, smiling THANK YOU to All Denture Lab. Additional thanks also to Bonaire Superstore for a nice discount on the purchase price.

  Cat litter crisis averted 

  The Bonaire Animal Shelter would like to thank all the generous supporters who sought out and donated cat litter to help keep the  Shelter’s cat privies pretty. The donations were enough to stave off a real litter shortage crisis until relief arrived. With the help of Tropical Flamingo, the Shelter is now purchasing pallets of 50 pound bags of litter on a regular shipping basis. Thanks again for all the donations and a big thank you to Tropical Flamingo.

  FACTOID: The Shelter uses 150 pounds of cat litter every week at a cost of about $45 per week! (Monetary donations to help defray the costs of the new purchase plan are always appreciated.)

  Mae Corrigan from New Jersey, USA loves dogs

  Mae Corrigan from New Jersey, USA and her two brothers, Miller (Mae’s twin, age 11) and Owen (age 12) have been painting shells that they found on the beach during the last few months.

  These beautiful shells have been sold to raise money for their donation to the Bonaire Animal Shelter.

  Three months ago the Corrigan family was scuba diving in Bonaire and they saw many stray dogs. This year they decided to read about the shelter in Bonaire and wanted to help these stray dogs. This week they paid a visit to the shelter and gave us an envelope of the money they have collected.

  Thanks very much Mae, Miller and Owen for helping the dogs of Bonaire!!
