The Gringas are volunteering to wash and play with dogs at Dog Land! Everyone is welcome! And we are hoping to make it a monthly play date!Date: Friday, October 7, 2011
Time: Meet Up at 8 am at Cafe Delicias in San Ramon for Carpool/Caravan to Piedades Sur. Passengers, please give driver 1,000 c toward gas.
Expect: About a thirty minute drive to Dog Land, a brief tour of the clean and lovely doggy villages, and on to the Big House for the first 40 introductions! That's the goal for the day! Spend about 3 hours getting wet and having fun! Return to San Ramon about noon. If you do not want to get soaked, bring a large trash bag to wear over your clothes. Very fashionable! We'll show you how!
I can't go but I want to help: Founder Helene Wirt says that it costs about $4,000 a month to take care of the current 167 residents...so monetary donations are always welcome! Additionally, specialized shampoos for those pups with skin conditions would be so very helpful! Here are some suggestions:
- Lisan Shampoo con Gluconato de Clorhexidina (red and white bottle)
- Virbac Espisoothe
- Vetriderm Champu Cuidados Intensivo
- Vetriderm Antiseptico
If you are passing by any veterinarian's office and you have a few thousand colones to spare, buying the special shampoo would be a lovely gesture. Also, if you have any old clean towels or old sweatshirts (which apparently are great to dry dogs!) you want to recycle, these are also welcome. Bring them on the day of the dog wash if you are going or any Thursday at 10 am to Cafe Delicias to Louise Whittman.
Questions? Call Louise Whittman at 8997-9903 or email reesemickie@gmail.com. For Dog Land's Facebook page, go to queridos perros Aso Elena or www.meetyourdog.org.
Haven't you always wanted to do this?!!
