Urgently seeking a foster or forever home for FULA. She is a beautiful spayed female about 3 years old. She gets along very well with other dogs and with cats. Actually she loves cats. She is leash trained and loves to go for walks. She is also use to being an inside/outside girl, so would not be good as an outside dog only. She appears to be a border collie mix; very smart and learns easily. Her beautiful golden eyes match her golden heart.

We were contacted by a gentleman who has come across this dog. If you recognize this dog, please contact ARF. My wife found a stray dog this afternoon that came to our house. She is a black labrador maybe 3 or months old I think. All black apart from some brown on her feet. She seems very well fed, house trained and responds to sit in English. No collar We live close to la estancia on the Volcancito Road. We have put notices on Facebook, but no response yet. Thanks.

Consider inviting one of these great animals into your life. Here are some of the animals ARF currently has up for adoption. Sasha is approximately 1 year old (5/17). She is a calm, quiet and mild mannered dog. She enjoys playing, but for her age is not an overly active dog. She tends to be on the quiet side is content to go off and be on her own with a toy. Not that she isn’t social, she is, but she does not need to be entertained. She is also very affectionate. She weighs 10kg or 22 pounds. Wendy We happened to follow up on a call to visit a finca near Isla Verde one hour after this pretty girl had given birth to her pups. Wendy is about two and a half years old and gets along well with other dogs and cats and loves to play. She is a bit on the quiet side – doesn’t bark much. She is on the smaller-medium size, and weighs about 18 kg or 40 lbs. Shadow is approximately 2 years old. She was rescued with a bad case of mange, but as you can see, she is a beautiful girl now. She is learning basic commands and loves to play with other dogs. She loves people and is a big “kisser”. She does not like to be alone, but is fine in a crate. She loves all types of food, including fruit and liver treats. She is becoming a very good watch dog. ZsaZsa is a 2 year old female that is spayed and vaccinated. She can be a bit shy with people at first, but not in an aggressive manner. She gets along with other cats as well as dogs.

Thanks to everyone who came and supported us. Details of the next venue to be announced soon!

Hello all! This dog has been spotted in the Casa De Montana neighborhood. The dog seems to be well fed, but it was hit by a truck recently and seems to have a gimpy back leg. It is wandering the streets, and we are wondering if there is anyone who knows who this dogs belongs to - or if it is just a "neighborhood" dog going house to house for food. We would like to take this dog to a vet, but no one can seem to contain him so that we can pick him up. Please let us know if you have any information that we can work with. Thanks much.

Hi all, We have managed to find a place for most of these animals but are still seeking a foster for Pearl. She needs to be moved within the next week. If anyone can help, please contact us. ARF will pay for food and any necessary medical needs......we truly have run out of options at this point. If you can help, please contact us. Gracias.

Hello everyone! For April, the amount of monthly donations and funds raised from our events was $2447.00 and expenses totaled $1527.00. Thank you to everyone who contributed! In April 3 dogs and 1 cat found their forever home. We currently have a dog that needs immediate placement if anyone is willing to open up your heart and home. He was recently hit by a car and needs a place to recover. We really have no alternatives right now – fosters are few and far between. When you foster for ARF all food and medical expenses are provided by us. As in March, we again had a total of 10 feral cats taken to the clinic and sterilized thru our cat trapping program. Please consider donating to this important program thru our website. It takes approximately $300 per month to maintain. Reference “cat trapping” and your donation will go directly for food and medical expenses for the ferals. Attached are a couple of pictures from one of our feeding stations in Volcancito. DONATION ALERT! We have recently come to find out that there is someone who has been making donations online to ARF (or so they thought) on a monthly basis for the past 2+ years. They assumed we were receiving the funds and the sad truth is we were not. We can only come to the conclusion that this person made an honest mistake and selected payments to go to an organization with a similar name to ours, or they are victim to a scam. Please always go thru the ARF website to make your online donation or to a person you know here in Boquete as being associated with ARF. When making a donation online thru our Pay Pal account, you will always receive a thank you note on behalf of ARF for your donation. If you would like to ensure your donations are coming to us, please contact us by email and we can confirm this with you. Here is a link to help you determine a valid animal rescue group from a scam: http://petadvocatesnetwork.org/wordpress/2012/11/04/great-animal-rescue-or-great-scam-a-complete-guide-by-alison-hector/ WE GOT OUR FIRST GRANT! We recently applied for and were told we were approved for a grant with SPCA International. Let’s all jump up and clap now-YAY! The funds will come later in the year as they have a long list of applicants to process. From what we can determine, we are hoping it will cover at least one month of our usual expenses. Here is a link to their site: http://www.spcai.org/ Bingo April’s bingo was a success and we honestly had more participants than expected which is great! (sorry about the close quarters). The next bingo event will be at the Boquete Brewing Company on Thursday May 18th from 1:00pm-3:00pm. Come early, get your preferred seat and order some lunch. Happy Hour drink prices will be offered. Bring all your friends! The more that attend the bigger the cash prizes! Hoedown recap: As last year, this year’s event was also a success! Thanks to everyone who attended. The food was delish (thanks Sherry, Anita and Debby), the music great (thanks Stone) and thank you Cowboy Dave and Judy for getting things going on the dance floor. Thanks also to all the other volunteers who helped pull this all together. Do you like dogs, but can’t have, or don’t want one full time? A few of our animals are very timid and need help with socialization. What would that entail? Taking them for walks, bringing them into town where they can experience being around different people and smells. If you are interested in helping out, even if for a short stint, please contact us. Featured animal – Benji If you are looking for a house-trained female couch potato, Benji is the one for you. She has been our longest term foster at three years so she really needs to find that forever home. Benji is low to medium energy level.She is a bit hard of hearing and has an old leg injury, but gets around just fine. She will need a fenced in yard. Benji is about 7 years old, 45 pounds, and has been spayed and is up to date on shots. She loves to chase laser lights and walks well on a leash. Benji can have some issues with other dogs, so it would be best if she could find a human companion(s) that she will be completely dedicated to.

Missy was abandoned at some point and came to her fosters hungry, thin and very sick. She has responded to them with loyalty and love. Missy is extremely affectionate and very social. She is a quiet family dog and very well behaved with children of all ages. Missy does not like to be alone for long periods of time and prefers to be around others. She is gentle and responds well to kindness. She enjoys walks and treats, especially little pieces of hot dog for which she will perform commands and take the meat carefully from your hand. She responds to “sit”, “stay”, “down”, “shake paw” and “no”. She will walk nicely with you and whimpers when she needs to go to do her business. Missy is afraid of the water hose and sprinkler and she will do anything to escape it. She does not like the blanket in her kennel to even be slightly damp. She likes to play with some of the smaller dogs in the neighborhood and will hide from the more aggressive ones. Missy enjoys sleeping in her kennel at night where she feels safe. Missy is approximately 2 years old and weighs 38 pounds. She is now healthy, has a lovely personality and will make a wonderful addition to you family.

Thanks to everyone who attended and to all of our great volunteers! Here are some pictures from the event.

Hello all, We are urgently seeking foster or forever homes for some of our animals. The current fosters are leaving for extended periods of time and we need to find a new place where they can lay their heads. If you can help, please contact us. ARF provides all food and medical care (if needed) for our animals. Phyfer: Phyfer is a beautiful dog. She is about 5 now. Tall and slender, with a sway in her walk and a beautiful face and voice Phyfer is now ready for her permanent home. Pearl: Pearl is a six year old, spayed and vaccinated female. She is an indoor and outdoor dog. She is calm and sweet, gets along with cats (but not other dogs) and likes to be with her humans. She walks well on a leash, comes when you call her and is an excellent watch dog. Rayito: You can truthfully say Rayito is strikingly cute, VERY playful and a bundle of energy. He would be an exceptional soccer player and also gets very excited about bugs, crumpled tinfoil and pull toys-basically anything that moves or that he can move. He is fully litter trained. Rayito is about 5 months old. (3/17) Sunshine She is a bit shy, docile but very talkative. She loves to be stroked and scratched and has a good motor. She is litter trained, likes to go outside but is mainly an indoor cat. Meet Mister. He is so lovable and snuggly. He really loves his head scratches or simply just lying next to you on the couch. He is an older cat and likes to sleep but call him and he will be happy to come out to say hi. He has been fixed and has his vaccinations. He will warm your heart with his affection! He wants a home with other cats but he would be fine just by himself. Miss Molly is a five year old affectionate indoor/outdoor cat who is litter box trained. She needs to be the only cat in the household because she is territorial. She is independent and low maintenance, not requiring a lot other than a home to call her own and a family to love her.
