April 08 Dog Show

What started some nine years ago as a small event to promote the idea of owning and actually enjoying a dog has turned into a huge event popular with dog owners and non dog owners alike. Despite the amount of work that has to be done by the small group of KAR volunteers during the lead up to and on the day of the show, everyone involved enjoys the day and those sore feet are a small price to pay for seeing the faces of the proud owners with their dogs. A regular addition to the KAR Dog Show is chance for people to see and hopefully give a home to puppies and kittens. A small number of young animals are brought to the show and the children just love them. This year five KAR puppies were given homes and a number of the young hand reared kittens will be going to new homes as soon as they are old enough. The total class entries this year was 253.The Best KAR Rescue Dog class had 17 entries which was three more than last year. Taking home the Mahoney Memorial Trophy, awarded each year in memory of KAR supporters Anne and Reece Mahoney, the beautiful Lassie owned by Emre won the class.  U.K. Judge Penny Carmichael confessed to shedding a quiet tear as she judged the happy, healthy and much loved ex KAR dogs.
Best in show this year went to crossbred Pasa owned by Volkan. Judge Mrs.Carmichael said that she felt that the little crossbred was smiling whilst being shown, just asking to be chosen, and a very popular choice it was. The day raised 11,700 lira for Kyrenia Animal Rescue who continue to help the animals of North Cyprus.
When the show was over and all the clearing up had been done the sad side of animal welfare in Cyprus was yet again present as three puppies had been dumped under a truck in the near by car park.  KAR was able to take the puppies in to the safety of the Rescue Centre. Perhaps they will be lucky enough to find good homes and next year they will in the ring for the Best KAR Rescue Dog, let's hope so. 


March 08: Easter Quiz Night
Twelve teams took part in the Easter Monday Kyrenia Animal Rescue Quiz Night and Supper Held at Mambo Bar in Alsancak, Quiz Master Ann Bosley delivered her usual mix of questions to keep the contestants on their toes. Supper was cooked and served by the KAR fundraisers and a total of 1,325 was raised. Dogs R Us was the winning team. Can no one beat these guys???? 

February 08: Orchid Walk
The weather could not have been better for the 24 walkers who enjoyed the first Wild Flower and Orchid walk of the season on Wednesday February 27th.
Maureen and Tony Hutchinson hosted the walk in aid of Kyrenia Animal Rescue donating all monies from the day. This included money from the sale of jam, marmalade and other organic delights plus money from the sale of Alison Dowey's book, 'Walks in North Cyprus' and photo spreads of the orchids.

Ł340 plus 365 YTL  was raised. KAR would like to thank Maureen and Tony Hutchinson,  Alison Dowey, Sue Petch, and Molly and Terry Killinger for their help and for giving their time.

Coffee Morning
65 people enjoyed the first KAR coffee morning at Chimneys Restaurant and Bar in Catalköy on February 27th. Delicious Cheesecake, sponge, apple pie and fairy cakes were cooked and served by Restaurant Owners Phyl and Zihnigur Dereli.
The sale of Bric a Brac, Easter cards, soft toys new and nearly new clothing help boost the mornings money raised to 1,203 YTL.
More of these mornings are planned so keep an eye on local press for details.

January 08: First Student Visit of 2008
A small group of students from the Middle East Technical University (METU) in Kalkanli made a visit to the Kyrenia Animal Rescue Centre on Sunday 6th January. Teacher Özlem Boyd, who teaches English and foreign languages, arranged the visit to show her students the workings of KAR following an earlier visit she made to the centre.

It was also an opportunity for the  first year students, who all come from Turkey, to see the workings of a non profit making organisation. "The students are really keen to raise money to help KAR and to raise public awareness," said Özlem. "We will be having some brain storming sessions (in English) to come up with new ideas, as well as collecting old clothes, shoes and books for the Charity Shop in Girne."
Most of the students walked dogs and some were tearful as they had to say 'good bye' to their new four legged friends.
