Shelter auction was a big success !

Zonnig Bonaire — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 07:02:09 +0000

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!

Zonnig Bonaire — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 17:06:22 +0000

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.

Garage-sale Animal Shelter Bonaire

Help the Animal Shelter Bonaire and clean your closets, garages and storage sheds and help the dogs and cats at the same time! Your donations of things you don’t use anymore can mean a lot to the animals in the shelter.

All funds raised at the weekly garage sale, will go towards the pets in the shelter. We are needing to raise funds for the basic care and medical services our dogs and cats require, like dog food, cat food, cat litter, vet care, medications, vaccinations and other supplies.

If you have items that are in good, working and salable condition, or if you would like to volunteer to help with the weekly garage sale, call 7174989 or mail: animalshelter@flamingotv.net

The Shelter’s garage sale is (almost) every saturday at Kam. Lib. Simon Bolivar, in front of Brandaris Café, next to Lee’s ba, from 8 AM – 5 PM.

This saturday April, 30 we are in Rincon at the market. Sorry no garage sale!

THE NEXT GARAGE SALE WILL BE ON SATURDAY MAY 7

Cat litter crisis averted

Zonnig Bonaire — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 17:34:52 +0000

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.)
