Nassau, Bahamas - This is been a busy week at the Shelter! We have adopted out many
animals, taken in many more, including some baby chicks, and had a class
tour come through. The current construction boom on New Providence is
unearthing litters of pups, many of whom end up with us. The school
group that came through today has fostered Cupid (photo attached) for a
week in order to learn about taking care of a dog.
Due to the high number of puppies at the Shelter, we are running a
Super Bowl Special
for puppy adoptions. From now until Super Bowl Sunday (February 5th),
puppies will be adopted out at a reduced rate. If you or anyone you
know is looking to adopt, please come into the Shelter during adoption
hours (Monday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.) or call 323-5138.
The
BHumane Banner Launch evening at Government House is now
only a week and a day away, and tickets are selling well. Please be
sure to buy yours before we sell out! The event will be held Saturday,
February 4th at 7 p.m. and promises to be a fun-filled evening. Tickets
are $65.00. Many thanks to Lombard Odier Darier Hentsch for sponsoring
the BHumane Banner Campaign.
Raffle
ticket sales have begun. Tickets this year are $20.00
for one or $100.00 for a book of six. You can purchase your tickets at
the Shelter, from BHS members and Board members. We are still looking
for volunteers for table sales in front of ScotiaBank Bay Street through
February.
The
Animal Fun Day is a mere month away! Please come to the
Botanical Gardens on Sunday, February 26th from noon to 6 p.m. for a
fun-filled afternoon of events, games, and food. Volunteers are also
needed for this day. Please contact me if you are able to volunteer for
this event. Thank you to those who have already done so!
Also on Sunday, February 26th is the
Foley & Hepburn Evening of Song
at Jacaranda House. Tickets are $125.00 and include dinner and wine.
The evening begins at 6 p.m. and ends at 9 p.m. Proceeds from this
