Pet of the week: Guy, the intelligent little guy
Posted on November 14, 2010 by Marlies in Pet of the Week | 1 Comment
Guy, the intelligent guy
Jane Madden, the Lady Cat Guru, knows the Bonaire Animal Shelter’s cat cage residents like her own family. So of course it is she who can best describe one of the current favorites, “Guy,” who is this edition’s “Pet of the Week.”
Jane writes: “Guy arrived with his brothers Gus and Gibi as very young kittens. The boys are now about seven months old and constantly entertaining the Shelter staff. The antics of the Ggang could make a statue laugh! Guy is particularly noteworthy due to his incredibly knowing and intelligent eyes. That’s how he got his name….a staff member noted, “He looks like such an intelligent little guy!” And it turned out to be true. Although the smallest of the G-gang he is the boss and he certainly knows how to woo visitors. He simply sits at your feet and stares up at you with those incredible eyes and you can’t help but swoop him up and cuddle im….”Mission accomplished” says Guy’s eyes!”
As are all of the adoptees at the Shelter Guy has been checked out by the vet, given his shots, worming and sterilization when he’s old enough. All this included in the cat adoption fee of NAƒ 95. Not only are the cats in perfect health but they’re “social” as well! See Guy and his colleagues at the Shelter on the Lagoen Road, open Monday through Saturday, 9 am to 1 pm, 3 to 5 pm.

Pets Paradise Bonaire

Pets Paradise Bonaire is the title of the new Bonaire Animal Shelter video.
The video was made by a creative young local film producer and impressed the crowd. The film shows graphically what the animal problems are, primarily too many unwanted cats and dogs, and how they are dealing with them.
Shots of the Shelter residents are interspersed with short interviews with some of the Shelter staff. Informative, creative and entertaining. You may view the 20 minute video via the You Tube Channel of the Animal Shelter Bonaire or below.

Yoris the beagle look-a-like
Posted on May 30, 2010 by Marlies in Pet of the Week | Comments Off
Yoris may be a beagle look-alike but he’s bigger and more impressive than that. In fact he’s considered an excellent watch dog and he should deter anyone who shouldn’t be in his yard. But with his human friends Yoris is very mellow, shy even, and he takes awhile to warm up to people and other dogs. But when he does it makes it all worth it. This handsome pup is about a year and a half old; he’s been sterilized, has had his shots, worming and tests and is ready to go to an appreciative home.
The adoption fee at the Shelter for dogs is NAƒ 125 and includes all this. To meet Yoris and the other healthy and social pets up for adoption visit the Bonaire Animal Shelter on the Lagoen Road, open Monday through Saturday, 9 to 1 and 3 to 5.

Tremendous book and fleamarket at the Animal Shelter Bonaire
Posted on February 08, 2010 by Marlies in News | Comments Off
Saturday, February 6, the Animal Shelter has held a tremendous book and flea market at the Kaminda Lagun. Many volunteers started early to display all books and other articles and have been working all day to make sure everything went well.
From 11.00 am, people started to come in and lots of visitors have been coming whole day. While having a drink or snack, many customers took their time to look around between the many, many items that were for sale, to see if there was something they liked and could buy for little money. They found a lot to buy. The ambiance was great. Many people met friends or acquaintance.
For the Animal Shelter it was a very good day. A container that is a lot emptier and a cashbox that is a lot fuller. for more than Naf. 4.000,00 was sold.
All the money will be used to keep the shelter doing their work and for various smaller projects.
The Shelter would like to thank the We Dare to Care Foundation and Martinus Import nv for placing at the disposal of tables and tents.

Animal Shelter’s Annual Art Auction – December 10
Posted on November 27, 2009 by admin in Current Activities | Comments Off
Looking for an original X-mas present?
Saturday December 10th the Bonaire Animal Shelter again organizes the Art and Fun Auction!
The always entertaining fundraiser will be held at Sense. Before the Auction the famous and loved INDONESIAN meal is served between 18:00 and 20:00, tickets a $ 35.- p.p. are required for the meal. The Auction starts at 20:30, and is free and open to the public!
The Shelter still has trouble maintaining the terrain due to lack of funds. Volunteers certainly do a terrific job but they can’t do it all. For example, there is an urgent need to rebuild the kennels we use for the first reception of incoming dogs. The kennels need to be made safer, more hygienic and watertight.
A wide variety of stunning artwork and vouchers has been donated by sponsors and artists! You will be guaranteed to find the perfect Christmas gift to fit every budget! For more info and a look at the auction items go to the auction website. You have the opportunity to make a bid on line. Take a glance at artwork of all different mediums, original jewelry and some really interesting vouchers offered by local businesses. More items will be added in the next two weeks, so keep an eye on it!
All the proceeds go directly to the Animal Shelter and in advance we would like to thank all the people that are cooperating to make this fundraising a big success! (more…)
