Our Open Day, while we were very glad of it, raised just over €8,700 plus some coin.

As serious drop from previous years.  When we pick a date for the Open Day, it seems to be a signal for the heavens to open and lash rain.  Our supporters, Bless them enjoyed and endured in equal measure and we are grateful to each and every one who came along.

Normally what we raise at our Open Day keeps us in funds until October when we hold our next fund raiser. This year we have no hope of making it that far with the money we have.  Only last week, we had our rescued donkey “Stanley” and our Shetland “Troy” in for an overnight stay at the Vets. During this time they had their hooves and teeth done, were wormed and vaccinated and castrated.  They are like two new animals; all shiny and happy.  The cost of this alone was €940.00. So you can imagine with all the other animals in our care, the bills mount up quickly.  As always, we have no interest in cutting corners or sparing money on their care. They each get the very best of care which is what we promise them when they come through our gates.

A Plan

To help us bridge the gap, Dunnes Stores, Newbridge have kindly gi ven us permission for a bag pack on Thursday 26^th August from 10am to 10pm and Friday 27^th August from 6pm to 10pm.We will need people present on at least ten of the checkouts on the Thursday over the twelve hour period which is difficult for us to cover.  I am reluctant to take those involved in the direct care of the animals because that is where they are needed.

It is a big undertaking for us and A BIG ASK of you…..but can anyone help us by giving us some hours of your time.  I will be organising it myself so please if you can help us: Text   087 931 1827 or

Tel. 045 522929

We have a pregnant mare we took from the Pound that needs to be scanned soon and many other recent rescues that need both routine and other surgery.

Our Open Day looms on the horizon again. With just days away from our biggest day of the year is Sunday 18th July 2010.

We really have been limited in recent years as many of the people we depended on have moved abroad, had babies, got married, got un-married and so on. We could do with more people to help on stalls or organise one for us or help us to find new attractions that won’t cost very much to put in place.

The old reliables like, cakes, tombola,plants and new items really work well if we have plenty of produce to sell. Don’t forget to hoard your unwanted gifts for us. We would be delighted with homebaked items and plants if you can help.

If you would like to take part in any way in our Biggest Day of the year, please let us know.

We will have lots for stalls and things for you to see. The brillant Anne Doyle will be with us again this year.

The day begins at 12pm and admission is totally free.

We hope to see you all there!

There is lots of fun categories on the day, from best dog and child team to best rescue dog. €2 per category, Rosettes galore. The show is open to all dogs (please make sure your dog is vaccinated).

Get your dog micro-chipped by our vet at the show for only €25.

We really look forward to seeing you all on the day

All proceeds go to the care of animals in our shelter

Gruesome Twosome

Hi Dan, Geraldine, Grace and all at Kildare Animal Foundation

Thank you all ever so much for making me well again and sending me
over to England to Heth; course she doesn’t have that lovely Irish
lilt that you are all blessed with but nobody’s perfect, right? I’ve
settled in really well over the last five months and mum says I’m
quite a cheeky rascal now my confidence has grown.

This is me and my new forever girlfriend Lulubell whose real name is
Lucy but we prefer Lulubell. Isn’t she hot or what!! Mum and Tom (her
son) took us on a trip to the Welsh mountains and we played all day in
the lake at Bala; tomorrow we’re going up over Horse Shoe Pass which
is very high up above Chirk and mum says we are having a picnic. I
like picnics ‘cos it gives me the chance to pinch mum’s sandwiches
when no-one’s looking and then I sneak off with Lulubell to share
them!!! We don’t know why she was peeved ‘cos we left her a bowl of
kibble.

Must dash, got another adventure waiting…..

Love and licks always

Kingston xxxxx

PS
Might not make it over in June as my dad Bill is rather poorly and has
to be on oxygen all the time, but when he’s better we’re all coming
over to say ‘hi’. Warn the four legged boys that a glam blonde is
coming to visit…..
