Animals seeking a forever home
KITTENS and puppies will be hoping they get a “forever home” when a local animal shelter hosts an adoption day in Atherton on 22 July.
This is the first adoption day for the Animal Rescue Tablelands group who are looking for- ward to welcoming locals who may be in the market for a new pet.
“It’s good, people can see the animals...as Sandy (the owner) says, the animals choose you, you don’t choose them,” ARTi fundraising coordinator Rena Braes said.
The event will be held at Atherton Bunnings on Saturday, 22 July and will feature a barbecue, kids craft workshop, face painting, glitter tattoos and pet giveaways.
Ms Braes said seven puppies and a number of kittens would be available for rehoming on the day.
Of the puppies there will be two 4-5 month olds, two 10-month-olds, one 12-month-old and two 14 week-olds. “All the rescues are well socialised,” Ms Braes said.
“We are very appreciative of the offer Bunnings gave us. It’s a big boost to our cause.”
The not-for-profit group puts all money raised back into the rescue funds to help care for and look after the animals.
The adoption day will be from 10am-12 noon. For more information, visit the Animal Rescue Tablelands Inc Facebook page or www.animal- rescuetablelandsinc.net
