6th Annual Dog Walk

This Saturday, March 27th will be our 6th annual dog walk in Hope Town. It will start at Jarret Park, right by the public dock. The walk is 1.5 miles and ends back at Jarret Park where there will be a bake sale and prizes for the kids that got the most sponsors for the walk.

If you are travelling from Marsh Harbour you can catch the 9am ferry and be there in time to participate. Sign up starts at 9:30 and the walk begins at 10.

If you bring your dogs, please have them leashed.

We will also have our new t-shirts on sale (the dog one above and the cat one below), as well as our logo t-shirt, and our burlap bags with the logo. T-shirts and bags are $20 each. Free t-shirt with $50 donation.

Hope to see you there!

Art for the Parks

Hello animal lovers!

Friends of Abaco Animals will have a tent at Art for the Parks, at Abaco Beach Resort, January 30th and 31st. We will be selling hand stamped dog tags (cats can wear them too) for your furry children, burlap grocery bags with our logo, and our t-shirts.

It has been a busy last few months. We have done another spay and neuter clinic for the cats in Green Turtle Cay, and a two day spay and neuter clinic in Marsh Harbour for cats and dogs. In the Marsh Harbour clinic Dr. Hanna and Dr. Bailey did 51 spays and neuters!!

Yesterday there was also a flea market, bake sale and silent auction in Hope Town, which was extremely successful. It is fundraisers like this that make it possible to continue to work for the animals of Abaco. Thanks again to all our supporters!

Above is a sample of one of the dog tags. We can do them with your pets name on it, and circular tags are available in nickel silver or copper. Other shapes are available also.

Come out on Saturday January 30th from 10am - 5pm, or Sunday January 31st from 12noon to 5pm.

See you there :)

Thanks so much to those of you who have shared our blog with friends, and those who "share" these posts on Facebook. Please continue to do so!!

Soon we will be letting everyone know all the wonderful desserts that have been donated to our "Designer Desserts" Silent Auction, that will take place on November 27th. We have cakes coming from Texas!!!! Isn't that awesome? And we have had a lot of generous people donate from right here in Abaco. I was amazed at how quickly the requests came in. Our goal was to have 20 different desserts and we have exceeded that number.....so check back and I will post a list to tempt you so you wont want to miss this event.

Another exciting, upcoming fundraiser is being organized by Royal Potcake Rescue in Atlanta. A big raffle with amazing prizes and a band from Atlanta. All the proceeds from this are going towards spay and neuter clinics all over Abaco. This event takes place on January 6th, 2010. Check out their website http://www.potcake.org/ for more details and to purchase raffle tickets.

I really didn't have a picture to post, so I used a picture of one of my many potcakes named Trixi.

Have a great weekend !

Bake Sale was a GREAT Success!

Thanks to everyone that came out to the garage and bake sale last Saturday. We had LOADS of baked goods and made over $500!!! That will spay, neuter and feed alot of doggies and kitties on Abaco.

We are now planning another fundraiser, which may take place in November. We are calling it "Designer Desserts", and it will be a dessert silent auction. Pies, cakes, cheesecakes trifles......just in time for holiday dinner parties.
