More Sweet Dogs for Adoption

Just a quick post to show you two dogs that are in need of a home.

The picture to the right is the spayed female.

She is about a year and a half old and is a sweet girl. It is hard to see in the photo but she has brindle markings.

Unfortunately these dogs are in a desperate situation. A Haitian man, who is a caretaker on someone else's property adopted these dogs and his boss, and owner of the property, had told him not to get any dogs. So he is not allowed to keep these dogs and they MUST find a home.

The neutered male is in the picture to the left.

He is black with a white blaze on his chest, and also has a very sweet personality. He is also about a year and a half old.

If you, or anyone you know would be interested in adopting one, or both, of these dogs please contact Friends of Abaco Animals.

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 :)

Green Turtle Cay Kitty Spay and Neuter Clinic

The Kitty Spay and Neuter Clinic went extremely well in GTC. The photo above shows Dr Derek Bailey prepping a kitty for surgery. FOAA is extremely grateful to Lynn Johnson for the use of her home for this clinic. Another clinic is scheduled for December 12th so we can really get a handle on this cat problem.
The above photo shows the volunteers that made this clinic possible. Left to right are Lynn Johnson, Karen McIntosh, Dr Derek Bailey, Judy Marshall, Sonya, Janie Thompson.

Here is a cart full of traps, containing cats. The cats were trapped Friday afternoon, kept inside over night and the clinic began Saturday morning. Twenty one cats were trapped, but three were too young to be spayed or neutered. Luckily homes were found for these kittens who will be spayed when old enough.

FOAA is seeking more donations of newspapers and old towels or sheets for the clinic in December. These can be dropped to Dr Bailey's office next to Abaco Hardware.

Other upcoming events to remember are Designer Desserts on Novmeber 27th and Royal Potcake Rescue Benefit Concert and Raffle on January 5th 2010.

Thanks again for following the FOAA blog and for your continued support.

Green Turtle Cay Spay and Neuter Clinic for Cats

On October 17th, a few volunteers from FOAA will be going down to Green Turtle Cay to do a spay and neuter clinic for the increasing cat problem. Dr. Bailey will be doing the surgeries, and hopefully if we can get down there on a regular basis we can prevent future litters of unwanted kittens on the cay.
We have a wish list of supplies that we will need....old towels, old sheets and newspapers. Any of these items can be dropped to Dr. Bailey's office, next to Abaco Hardware. And of course we are always grateful for financial donations as well.
Please share our blog address with your friends as well as sharing this as a post on Facebook.
Thank you for your continued support.
