Young Querien and her sister Queenie

pet of the week QuirienYoung “Quirien” was brought into the Bonaire Animal Shelter along with her sister “Queenie.” The people who brought them in just had too many dogs to take care of.

“Quirien” is so proud and a darling. She’s alert – just look at those standing up ears – and loves to show off the snow white fur on her chest. She’s friendly but not to someone who shouldn’t be in her yard. This girl will be a fine watch dog. It was good luck for Quirien and Queenie to be brought in because at the Shelter if the dog is in good health and is social with people they will be put up for adoption. Both dogs have been checked out by the vet, had their shots, worming and tests and are ready to go. When they are a little older they will be sterilized. All this for the dog adoption fee of NAƒ 105.

You may meet her and the other adoptees at the Shelter on the Lagoen Road, open Monday through Saturday, 9 am to 1 pm and 3 to 5pm. Tel. 717-4989.

Cor is a darling

Pet of the week - Cor oct 2009“Cor is a darling,” they say at the Bonaire Animal Shelter. “He’s just so sweet.” Not only that but he’s a very handsome fellow too. A strong strain of Siamese is obvious in Cor’s background when you see his beautiful blue eyes and pale shades of beige on white coloring.

He was found abandoned at Sabal Palm and when it was discovered that he was such a special cat he was immediately put up for adoption.

Cor has been sterilized and he’s in top health, having had all his checkups, testing, worming and shots. He’s about a year old.
