Sammy in march 2011
Good News: Do you remember “Sammy”, the near death, starved, abused and neglected dog that was brought into the Shelter? There was something about him that made the staff decide not to euthanize him after all. With the love and attention he got at the Shelter he turned into a handsome,friendly very special dog.
The good news is that Sammy has been adopted. What a life he’s lived already in his short time. Congratulations, Sammy and to your new owners. May you have a long and happy life together!

Shelter Shots
Posted on March 30, 2011 by Marlies in News | Comments Off
Puppies Sammy and India get their shots from Shelter staff members Monique and Marlies, and volunteer Gitta (center). To fight against the deadly Parvo and other diseases these shots should be given to all puppies and dogs on the island.
The first shot in a series is administered when the puppy is six to nine weeks old. Then as an adult they should get the shot every year.

Help the Shelter Cats Keep Their Privy Pretty
Posted on March 08, 2011 by Marlies in News | Comments Off
There appears to be a cat litter shortage on the island and the feline shelter residents need your help. Our cats are very fastidious in their “bathroom habits” and really need clean litter boxes every day. If you happen to be in a store and you see cat litter, please buy a bag (or two!) and drop it off at the Shelter….or at least call the Shelter and let them know where you found it so they can buy it and keep the kitty privies pretty!
