Live Arico Update - 27.08.2010

Live Arico Update

Procedure for found/abandoned dogs
Because of financial constraints, we have to insist that the public do not visit the refuge out of hours (3-6pm). We do not have the manpower to deal with both the dogs and visitors at the same time.
If you find an abandoned dog, please take it to Hospivet Sur in Las Chafiras. They will check the dog for a microchip and, in most cases, contact his owner. If the dog is truly abandoned, then we’ll be informed and will collect the dog from there. Many thanks.

 

Holiday raffle bonanza
Details of a fantastic, fund-raising raffle, run by Thomson Holidays and First Choice in aid of Live Arico and the Family Holiday Association, were printed last week. If you missed the story, please contact Suzy Q on the number below for more details about your chance to win a fabulous holiday by buying some tickets, and helping our dogs (and the FHA) in the process.
Tired of boot sales?
Sell your unwanted items in a more tranquil environment every Sunday at the Terrace Bar, Amarilla Golf, from 11-3pm. At just five euros per table and proceeds going directly to Live Arico, we are expecting these events to be a huge success. Call Ruth on 636 306 397 to reserve your table.
Upcoming events
This Sunday (29^th Aug) there will be a benefit night at Legends Bar, near Los Cristianos Market, from 9pm. It will be hosted by Suzy Q, with guests including Michaela as Tina Turner, Wingate School pupils JJ Gibson, Matthew, and Alfie B, plus many more. Come and join us.
On Sunday,19^th September, we are staging a benefit at La Guagua, Fañabe Beach front. Details to be confirmed next week.
The following Wednesday (22^nd Sept), we have a fund-raiser at the Ocean View Bar, Hotel Comodoro, Los Cristianos. Tickets are just six euros and include live entertainment, plus a delicious pie-and-pea supper. Call Suzy on 629 388 102 to get your tickets, or pop into the bar.
Revised adoption procedures
A minimum 50-euro donation for an adopted male dog, and 75 euros for a female, is now required by Live Arico. This is paid direct to Hospivet Sur on collection of your new pet, which will be chipped, neutered, vaccinated and wormed.

 

South Tenerife Rescue Centre
We have sold 509 square metres of land up to now, making a total of 2,545 euros, which is a magnificent achievement.
The plan to buy our own plot of land remains, possibly even where we are now renting, so are you prepared to buy a square metre of land for Live Arico?
At just five euros, you will receive a certificate from Live Arico for now, and your name, address and number of square metres purchased will be on a Roll of Honour at the new refuge.
Live Arico Flight Line
Anyone booking flights to and from the UK with the Live Arico Flight Line will get them at competitive prices, and will also help our dogs. Call now on 922 794 918 and please quote Live Arico Flightline.
Dog-grooming
Claire is now offering 10% of her fee to Live Arico. She has 18 years of experience, so call her on 660 862 910 for an appointment, and quote Live Arico so we can receive our donation.
Live Arico Shop news (in association with Tenerife Nursing and Care)
As you probably know by now, the shop is now on the frontline of Coral Mar, at ground level, next door to the Coral Bar.
This makes life far easier for everyone: cars unloading can park right outside, and our elderly and disabled customers no longer have to negotiate the stairs.
We now have a fantastic range of hand-made cards for all occasions. They are decorated beautifully and cost from two euros.
 
We are also grateful for items of furniture as we are working in conjunction with Fish for Furniture, at Los Abrigos, and Idea, in Adeje. Call Rick to arrange pick-ups.
We are also grateful to receive any donations of cat and dog food at the shop. 
Through popular demand, the shop is now open at the following times: Mon-Fri: 10-4pm. Sat: 10-2. Sunday: Closed. The shop will also be open when there’s an event on in Coral Mar Square,
