A resource center in Exuma has made appointments to bring children with autism to the property where kids can socialize with the pups.
In the pipeline is the 2007 Wagging Tails Calendar with each month sponsored by hotels or individuals or business groups. Lynne said, “The calendar, to be released this October promises to be a big sale. It will be our major fund-raiser,” she said. Readers and guests are invited to send in snap shots of their favourite pup for a $5 fee. First prize gets a picture on the cover with 21 other pet runners-up featured all over the spread.
Peace & Plenty carried two months of advertising on the calendar. This kind gesture was a welcome treat for the pet organization.
Furthermore, the inn assists Exuma dog owners with obtaining a proper license to own a pet. Since it is legal requirement in Exuma, Peace & Plenty Beach Inn hands out application forms and files completed paperwork. Owners only collect the license from the Beach Inn. It’s that easy.
While a few of the dogs are sent to the States and are put up for adoption, the majority of the dogs found, rather than returned to the streets, are housed at the Beach Inn where there is plenty of room as well as visitors.
Lynne’s team is designing a website to reach out to people on an international scale. Hoping to bring humane awareness to the Family Islands of the Bahamas, they will post the organization’s profile, services offered, upcoming events and update on the construction of the animal shelter called BLAS.
