Not only do the staff and volunteers work hard to give the animals food,
shelter and affection as well as hopefully find them new, loving homes, they
must also stuggle hard against the financial odds of caring for so many
creatures.
It is not all doom and gloom however. There are many happy endings for
the dogs and cats that find new homes either here in Tenerife or in Germany.
K9 Animal Refuge can be proud of their work and the K9 Animal Refuge
Tenerife Annual Charity Gala is a chance both for some major fund-raising
for the group and for the staff and volunteers, the dog-walkers, financial
supporters and all of Tenerife's animal lovers to get together and celebrate
the many four-legged friends who are now happily placed in forever homes.
K9 Animal Refuge and BlevinsFranks
Proudly present
“A Dogs Dinner”
In association with Roy’s Pizza
Join K9 on Saturday the 15th of July for a night of food and entertainment in the
fabulous Rancho El Palm Mar which with its rustic adobe charm and
traditional Canarian appeal will be laying on a three course banquet for
both vegetarians and carnivores.
There will be entertainment throughout the meal, including
Spanish singers and guitars, a table-magician and a display of El Tango.
You can also participate in ...
'A Bitch of an Auction'
... where
spectacular items like the stunning
'Tala Pearls'
(worth a staggering €1,860!) generously donated by
Tenerife Pearl will be auctioned off to the highest bidder - all proceeds
to go to the dogs, of course.
Celebrity guests will add a bit of sparkle and fun to the
evening with Emmerdale Farm's Clive Hornby ( 'Jack Sugden' )- K9's Patron
- leading the cast as our celebrity auctioneer.
Clive will be bringing
several other friends and fellow actors from the popular ITV soap so fans
of the show will be in for a treat.
The cream of Tenerife cabaret will not be forgotten of
course as K9 have borrowed some top acts from some of the island's most
exclusive venues and a top british act will be flown in to headline the
event.
Every guest wll receive a complimentary goody bag stuffed
with gifts from various local sponsors and a glossy souvenir programme
in which we will outline K9's history, our plans for the next year, our
objectives and mission statement.
The programme will also feature the
event's sponsors and 30 advertisements from local businesses
(so if your
company is not included, you should call Ian or Sarrie now on 628 616 607!)
All in all it sounds like Tenerife's gala night of the
year. Considering the fabulous food, sparkling guest list, exciting
auction, entertainment and goody bags it can't be often that you can truly
say you had the night of your life, while saving the lives of others.
Tickets are only €32 for adults and $22 for kids. Call Ian
or Sarrie to reserve yours now on 628 616 607.
Sincere thanks to the local companies which have shown
their willingness to put a bit back into the community.
