Yippee... Alenna Found Her Home!

Alenna's story starts at the landing strip of Hato International Airport. At least, that is where we start her story. We never found out where exactly she came from, but she was first spotted wandering at the airport. The people there were unable to catch her and we were told that if we didn't pick her up, it might end bad for her.
Curaçao Airport is not the best place for a stray dog to wander around. Fortunately, we were able to capture Alenna and bring her to safety. Fast forward to December and Alenna found her forever home right in time for Christmas! We simply couldn't be happier for her.
Go Alenna, we wish you a very happy life with lots of treats and love!

CARFIE Of The Week: Pippa
Pippa has had her first vaccination and is microchipped. She will need someone committed to continuing to socialize her and working with her on training so that she knows that her human is in charge and she doesn't need to worry one bit. She feels comfortable around other dogs and always tries to play with them or copy their behavior.

CARF viert Werelddierendag middels adoptie-evenement
Tijdens de Meet & Greet zullen vrijwilligers van CARF aanwezig zijn om vragen over de stichting en het adoptieproces te beantwoorden. Ook kunnen zij meer vertellen over de persoonlijkheden van de honden. Ook mensen die geen hond willen adopteren maar meer te weten willen komen over CARF, of een donatie willen langsbrengen, zijn van harte welkom.
“Het adopteren van een hond is niet iets wat je zomaar even doet. Vanzelfsprekend wil je een hond die je aanspreekt en die het beste bij jou en je situatie past,” zegt Sylvia Minten, vrijwilligster bij CARF. “Tijdens dit adoptie-evenement kunnen mensen geheel vrijblijvend komen kijken of zij één van onze honden willen adopteren. Wij verzorgen ruim honderd honden dus er zit eigenlijk altijd wel een geschikt hondje tussen!”
CARF is de oudste no-kill rescue organisatie van Curaçao. Sinds de oprichting in 2008 heeft de stichting al meer dan duizend dieren kunnen opvangen, socialiseren en succesvol kunnen herplaatsen.
Voor meer informatie, kunt u onze Facebook event page raadplegen of een email sturen naar stichtingcarf@gmail.com.
CARFIE Of The Week: Presto ♂
This is what our volunteers have to say about him: "Presto is so calm and easy going. He's friendly with everyone he meets and he's just kinda a go-with-the-flow type of dog. The family who gets to adopt him will be very lucky!"
Presto has been neutered and is fully vetted. Will you be his new human friend?
CARFIE Of The Week: Grey Friend & Diabolo
Come see if these two are a good fit for you! Contact stichtingcarf@gmail.com for more information or to set up a Meet & Greet.

Luna loves humans and furry friends, she is house trained and already knows the basic obedience commands. She would do very well in a family, or with a person with whom she can share her love for long walks and swims. She can jump high fences (when she's looking for her human) so she needs to be supervised when outside.

[NL] CARF Organiseert Puppy Adoptie Evenement in Jan Sofat
“Het loopt dit jaar de spuigaten uit met gevonden, gedumpte en afgestane dieren. Gelukkig verhuizen er de laatste maanden met enige regelmaat honden naar het buitenland want het aantal adopties op het eiland is te verwaarlozen. Ondanks onze opnamestop hebben wij de afgelopen maand toch ruim twintig puppies opgenomen die anders aan hun lot waren overgelaten. Wij ontvangen geen overheidssubsidies en om ons werk te kunnen blijven doen zijn wij volledig afhankelijk van de financiële steun van particulieren en organisaties die ons een warm hart toedragen. Tijdens ons adoptie evenement kunnen mensen geheel vrijblijvend komen kijken of zij één van onze puppies willen adopteren. Wij zijn vanaf 10 uur ‘s ochtends aanwezig en hopen veel dierenvrienden te mogen verwelkomen.” zegt Sylvia Minten, vrijwilliger bij CARF.
Ook dierenliefhebbers die geen hond willen adopteren zijn van harte welkom. Vrijwilligers van CARF zullen tijdens het Puppy Adoptie Event informatie delen over de stichting en de honden die zij opvangen. Ook worden er donaties aangenomen in de vorm van geld dan wel goederen. CARF kan momenteel puppyvoer gebruiken (ProPlan Puppy, te koop bij o.a. Claus Clinic aan de Anasaweg 7), nieuwe en gebruikte handdoeken, keukenrollen en schoonmaakmiddelen.
Voor meer informatie over de puppies of het adoptieproces kan men geheel vrijblijvend contact opnemen met stichtingcarf@gmail.com.
CARF is de oudste no-kill rescue organisatie van Curaçao. Sinds 2008 zetten de vrijwilligers van CARF zich in voor verwaarloosde honden en zwerfdieren. De stichting heeft de afgelopen jaren ruim duizend dieren kunnen redden en herplaatsen. De stichting vierde vorige maand haar 9-jarig bestaan.
