January 2012 - Moving House? Leaving Corfu?

If you are at the stage of having a good clear-out, for whatever reason, please don't throw your unwanted items away! Most of you know The Ark has a small shop in town and we will sell anything from a set of cutlery to a washing machine! All items accepted must be in good condition; all electrical items must be in working order. So, if you have any unwanted items: ie: books; DVDs; clothing; shoes; electrical items; kitchen equipment etc. we will be happy to take them off your hands! Proceeds from all sales go towards helping the stray and abandoned animals on Corfu, of which there are far too many. Please call: 6975 833654 to arrange for drop-off /pick-up. Your co-operation and generosity will be much appreciated.

January 2012 - Prepared for the cold

We had already taken delivery of some hand knitted bodywarmers for the dogs and now another surprise parcel has arrived from Ellen and Rob from Ho;lland. They visited Corfu last summer and wanted to support the work of The Ark. As well as the "capes" you see below they sent some treats for the dogs and some flea collars. Unfortunately we can't thank them personally as they didn't give an address, so if anyone knows Ellen and Robert van Unen or if they read this, please send an email address.

January 2012 - Cameron White

The ARK, has lost one of its long-serving members and faithful friends. Cameron passed away in November 2011 and will be sadly missed. He was a well-known dog trainer and animal behaviourist and always claimed to like dogs better than people. Cameron was known to say "We do not ask that everyone likes animals with a passion. However there is no reason why they cannot be treated with dignity and respect". Our thoughts and condolences go to his wife Sandra and his family. The ARK is deeply grateful for donations at the funeral to the total of 400 Euros.

January 2012 - Happy New Year

On behalf of the stray and abandoned animals of Corfu we would like to wish all our friends and supporters a Happy and Healthy New Year. Many thanks for all your help over the last twelve months. We look forward to your continued support in 2012.
