Hi everyone...well, the new Animal Protection Society Veterinary Day Clinic for the APS dogs and cats is almost finished....it is going to look absolutely smashing when it is finished and then we can start on the carpark....wow....we are going to be so "with it"....wont know ourselves will we.
Everything is going along ok at the Refuge though we are still in dire need of volunteer Cat Carers and Dog Carers. These are people who would actually be in charge on their day of volunteering, able to rehome our beautiful furry babies - the cats and dogs, answer the telephone, attend to customers plus check on the general welfare of the furry babes in our care. It would also be of great help if you would assist any volunteer who has come along to clean the dog or cat areas where our precious bundles are presently residing. Do you not know of anyone willing to give a helping paw!? It is interesting volunteer work...never a dull moment...and you would be helping precious bundles of fur find new loving homes...something that gives you a lump in your throat every time it happens...and every time it is still a wonderful moment to wave them off and pray they have a fantastic "forever" home. SO....anyone interested? You can do either a full day or half a day and yes, we wont throw you in at the deep end but will assist with some training....COME ON....don't you have some spare time through the week or perhaps at weekends, for we are open seven days a week. Phone the Refuge on 9398 6616 if you are interested...bring a friend if you wish...all are welcome...but telephone between 10am and 4pm or send an email to info@animalprotectionsociety.westnet.com.au and we can give you more information.
Lots of lovely kittens are available and seeking new loving homes....such pretty kittens too....plus there are many lovely older cats also seeking new loving homes. Between the hours of 10am and 4pm you can come along and meet them all...see the beautiful faces and watch their funny antics.....so cute!
24 Gorgeous dogs are also seeking new homes, some need training, some just want to sit by your side or go for a gentle walk, some want to run and play...all so different with different personalities just like us humans! How about coming along and taking a dog for a walk if you cannot give one of them a home....they need to be taken for a walk every day if possible, just to take the boredom out of the day, so - if you have a spare half an hour...come along and the Dog Carers shall be quite happy to meet you and have you meet our woofers - any time between 8.30am and 3pm.
Just like to say Thank you to Maddington Bunnings for the great donation of a mop and bucket, screwdrivers and small gardening tools. Pretty terrific of them to do this for the APS, so again, thank you very much indeed.
Christmas is looming and we are going to have a Christmas stand at a shopping centre at the end of this year as a fundraiser so we are asking for donations of home made items, home made cards, scarves, babies clothing....anything knitted, sewn, handmade....anything people would buy as a Christmas pressie that we could sell...all would be greatly appreciated. If you cannot drop off your donation to the Refuge then phone the refuge to see if a volunteer is able to pick up. Asking now so we can all get knitting, sewing and getting the ball rolling - so thank you in advance if you are able to help!!
Bye for now, enjoy the rest of your week and take care...thank you woofs and purrs from the furry residents of the Animal Protection Society.......bye
