Last call

After several last minute reprieves, time is finally running out for the dogs and cats still at Dohavets: the boarding facility is fully booked over Eid so they can no longer be housed there. QAWS is overflowing. Unless a solution can be found, several of the dogs face euthanasia. This is the very last thing anyone involved wants, but what is the alternative? These dogs have been hard to place. All are beautiful, intelligent creatures, but, due to their history of being abused and scared,cannot be considered well socialized.
Chassay was found several months ago, guarding her puppies in the most appalling conditions. She's wary with strangers and other dogs.

Eight Puppies... need help!

Hi Chelsea and to the group...

This has something to do with the PM I sent with you Chelsea regarding some stray dogs (2 adults-m&f) that we have voluntarily adopted and curently staying on our accommodations.

Now, we have ten! Because of the new 8 puppies... They are almost 3 weeks old and very cuddly and healthy! As much as we want to keep them, we can't. Our managers finally decided to keep them away fearing that some authorities could make problem on this. Now, I am begging for your help guys--- where should I bring this puppies. I also knew that the shelter is still under construction but as well, I can't bear to see these dogs wanderng around Industrial Area or be killed by some insensitive "people".

Chelsea,guys really need help! If you are willing to adopt please do so.

Rescued animals at Dohavets

From tomorrow (Saturday 31/10/09), Dohavets will no longer be providing temporary shelter for rescued dogs and cats.

QAWS are unable to help for obvious reasons: their temporary accommodation is already overflowing.

Kim the manager is now desperately looking for foster homes (or adopters) for the remaining animals. If you can help in any way at all, please contact her directly on qatarkimmy/-a-t-/yahoo.com, or PM me.

Finally, a 'thank you' is due to Dr Khalid of Dohavets for allowing his facilities to be used to help the abandoned animals of Doha over the past few months, and especially in the wake of the QAWS fire.

Babies & Kids Tabletop Sale to benefit QAWS

Want to get rid of your child's old clothes, toys, furniture etc - or are you in the market for some fabulous deals?

Mums in Doha, Doha Expat Mums and Kids (DEMK) and Expatwoman Qatar will be holding a "Babies & Kids Tabletop Sale" to help QAWS, whose shelter was destroyed by a fire last week. The event will be held on October 3rd from 1pm-4pm inside the Qipco Clubhouse (in the West Bay). All of the money raised will be used to purchase construction and animal supplies to help get QAWS up and running again.

Space for the sellers is limited and must be paid in advance. The tables are two meters long and may be shared with one other person if desired - the cost is 100QR per table and it includes the entrance fee for two people. You need not be a DEMK member to purchase a table.

Happy Ending

I just wanted to share the happy ending to the story of the Saluki and her puppies I posted some months ago.

Mother and both surviving girls were offered a home via a US-based rescue charity and are now happily living, with their permanent adoptive family, on a farm in Pennsylvania. (The second girl flew over to Washington last week for the reunion).

To close the story I'd like to highlight what a team effort this was, because, over the months, there have been many people who have contributed to making it happen.

-First, the site watchman who made sure they had water, and cared for them when they were born
-my friend A who came and took photos which
attracted more help
-friends and QLers who then helped with food;
-Kim and Mohammed from Dohavets who, without

Australia considers mass killings of camels

Agencies
Published: August 09, 2009, 12:17

Sydney: Thousands of camels in Australia could be killed by marksmen in helicopters under a government proposal aimed at cutting down the population of creatures.

There are now about 1 million camels roaming the country, and the animals compete with sheep and cattle for food and trample vegetation in search of water.

Glenn Edwards, who is working on drafting the Australian government's camel reduction program, said the population needs to be slashed by two-thirds to reduce damage.

Last month, the federal government set aside $16 million for a program to help slash the population.

An angel needs to fly

Could anyone help us to transport a gorgeous young rescued Saluki to the Eastern US, in the next week or so?

We are trying to reunite her with her mother and sister who have been adopted by a family over there and who flew to NY this morning, thanks to the kind help of a QL regular

We will arrange all paperwork and cover all costs, take the dog to check in, and they will be collected from you at the airport on arrival.

All you will need to do is let us have your flight details and inform the airline that you will be taking an animal as accompanied baggage.

This would be such an act of kindness, so if you can help in any way, (or if you know anyone who could assist) please let me know. Many thanks
