Yesterday's dog walk went very well as usual. We had 3 new faces and 4 old ones. (No, it wasn't a very big group). We have not been getting as many volunteers up as we used to, so I urge everyone to please spread the word and devote a little of your time during the weekend to these needy animals.

Next week the dog walk will be held on Saturday (5th), yet again because it is more convenient for the Arnett family, and also because in the evening there will be a Fundraiser BBQ. So all the volunteers attending the dog walk can choose to stay over for the BBQ.

Here is the link to the BBQ event:

It will start at 7.30, so the Dog walk will start at 5pm to be in time for the BBQ preparations.

Spread the word of the group, the dog walks and the fundraiser BBQ! Hope you can make it!

Peace and Love

Hello everyone!

Hope you are all doing well.

I would first like to start off by apologising for not holding a dog walk last weekend. I was very busy moving house and so I decided to leave it for that week. That being said, there is going to be a dog walk this Saturday (29th). Here is the link to the event page:

Also, I have written an article on a publication website which hopes to turn into an actual magazine distributed at the University of Malta. Here is the link to the article:

Show your support!

Hope to see you all on Saturday!

I've been working on the website again. And a new logo! The website is still being done, with the help of David Gladwish (Thanks Dave!). However, the logo, so far, is finished!

Check it out on my Wall Photos and leave a comment there, or simply comment on this blog and let me know what you think. So far I've got a lot of good feedback! Keep it coming people! This is your group too!

Peace and Love

Aloha!

The dog walk today went well! There was a slight delay towards the beginning but that didn't stop anyone.

Lots of new faces! I hope the group will keep growing and growing! The more awareness the better.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to wash the dogs because they had recently been treated with Frontline. So we can focus more on that next week. But it was a very good day on the whole!

Please leave your feedback on the group page or website. If anybody has some comments they'd like to make, message me personally or leave a comment on the group page. Also, if you have not voted on the poll on the website, please do so.

Peace and Love!

Hello all.

I'm messaging you today, not about a clean up or a dog walk, but about the hunting and trapping of exotic birds illegally in Malta.

Every year, more than once, migrating birds are shot down by hunters illegally.

"Birdlife Malta strives to conserve wild birds and their habitats. The organisation monitors activity that threatens wild birds, such as illegal hunting and trapping and urban development in conservation areas on the Maltese Islands."

Now, Birdlife Malta host an annual bird migration observation camp to monitor raptor migration and to carry out surveillance of illegal hunting and trapping activities in Malta and Gozo. They are in need of local volunteers to help them carry out their mission.

The event can be found on their group page, a link to which is found on the right hand side of the page.

Please help spread the word to you friends and help to protect these beautiful birds. I assure you that some of the species of birds that you will see on this campaign are the most beautiful animals you could ever lay eyes on. It is not something to be missed and most definitely won't ever be forgotten!

Peace and Love

Hey!

Was a VERY tiring day at the Funny Farm today! We got a LOT done though! =) Swept places, painted doors, re-built walls, and put up some green mesh camopies for the horses to have some shade. A couple of people took the dogs out for a walk too. A lot got done and it was a good day for the Funny Farm.

Some scouts also came along for a horse ride, so the horses were prepped and ready for that too. And all the kids seemed to enjoy it!

Unfortunately, we weren't a very big group, but we still got so much done! Hopefully, next time we will be more people. We need to get a lot of awareness around, so could you all please invite your friends to the group and let them know of the work that is being done and the help that is needed.

Hope you've all had a good weekend. Pics are up on the group page and the event page!


Peace and Love

Greetings fellow animal lovers!


Yesterday evening there were 2 events: The Dog walk and the Fundraiser!

I'm very proud to say that both went absolutely fantastically!

The group who came to the dog walk was bigger than ever! And I'm very happy that more people are showing an interest! Hope it keeps growing! This time, the group was big enough to be seperated into two groups: some people walking the dogs, and some people cleaning out their pens! So when the dogs came back from their exercise, they found clean pens with clean water and a fresh bowl of food.

After that there was the Fundraiser which went extremely well also! The turnout was great! The food was great! The atmosphere was great! The amount of money raised was AWESOME! Thanks to Sue and Mich for having us there and doing the amazing work that they do for the animals! No matter what the papers say! We will stand behind you through thick and thin. =)

Thanks to everyone who attended the Fundraiser and the Dog walk! The world needs more people like who to care! You're all stars!




Peace and Love to all!
