Today we heard about the sad passing of Lara, a female beagle/cattle dog who came to us after being found on a highway. A terrific family gave her a loving home but today we heard that Lara has passed away from a brain tumour. Rest in Peace Lara, and thank you to her family for giving her so much joy for the remaining months of her life. xxx
The APS is holding an Annual Fete on the 6th May 2007 at the Refuge premises. This will be from 11am to 3pm...and there will be much to see and do. Old McDonalds Farm will be there, ferrets, and Caroline from For Paws Pet Grooming Salon at Kelmscott will be joining us too so bring your woofers along for a great groom at a cost of only $15 each. Caroline has been willing to lend a helping paw any time, especially if we have an emergency and we thank her most sincerely for this.
Bark Busters will also be joining us on the day plus there will be bric-a-brac, raffle, sausage sizzle, book sale, plants, craft, toys and much more. Come along and enjoy yourself and meet the dogs and cats too. We will also have a hydrobath for those pets of yours who are a wee bit "on the nose" so for a cost of $5 per pet you can have that furry friend bathed and smelling sweetly again.
We are also having our Annual Street Appeal on 4th May 2007 and if you can help with this fundraising event by shaking a can then please give the refuge a call on 9398 6616. Areas where we will be are Perth, Armadale and Roleystone.
We do have chocolates for sale too - $48 for a box of 48 Freddo's. If you wish to purchase chocolates call at the Refuge to collect them or see if someone can drop them off to you. We have plain chocolate, caramello and white chocolate freddo's. Yum!
Dont forget - Annual Fete 6th May from 11am to 3pm....come see if there is something for you to purchase for that special lady in your life for Mother's Day. Or maybe you would like to join that special lady for membership at the APS for $10.00 for a year. Sponsor a dog or cat as a gift - a certificate of that special dog or cat will be sent to you or your person of choice and will contain a photo of the sponsored animal and the name of the person sponsoring. Great way to help the furries.
You could also sponsor a kitten shed, kennel, cattery and have your family name or business put on a plaque for just $200 for a year...showing you sponsor that building at the Refuge. If you come for a look around at the Refuge speak with one of the volunteers about sponsoring a building and they can put you in touch with a Management Committee member.
And just a quick hello to Jo Mac....we miss you Jo and hope you are looking after yourself. God bless, you are in our thoughts and we send you our love from all the vollies.
