A Quick Pause for PAWS – June 2012
By Sandy Franz
ATTENTION, ATTENTION
The population of unwanted animals has just been lessened! PAWS castration clinic held on 5/6/2012, was able to neuter/spay 19 dogs and 10 cats, making a total of 29 animals not able to produce unwanted animals. Thank you to the volunteers, PAWS workers, Dr. Martinez and his staff, and Dr. Cordoba for their consistent effort, assisting us in this cause. Thank you, also, to El Gran Escape Restaurante for supplying lunch for the volunteers.
We are always in focus, working toward our mission…..
PAWS….reaching out to the children……
Also, on May 6, PAWS took part in the III Exposicion Canina held at the Escuela Maria de Castro in Quepos. This event was a perfect venue to introduce PAWS and help bring the school community together. There was a dog pageant, with prizes awarded to the “prettiest dog”. PAWS presented printed materials on how to take care of young animals, raising them to adulthood. Jan Blackwell with Sue Smith were PAWS representatives who participated and showed various PAWS animals ready for adoption. They also provided information about the purpose of the PAWS tent at the Saturday Feria, along with the importance of the PAWS Castration Clinics. PAWS was invited to return to the Exposicion Canina, next year.
IT’S PARTY TIME, AGAIN!
The date of June 23, 2012, is now set for the Annual PAWS Fundraiser. The event will be held, again, at La Foresta with entertainment by Kerziah (Fuzzy Rojas) set for all to enjoy. So, keep this date open and wait for the fun to begin!
