If you would like to have a pet at home, but can’t, there is still a great way to become a HERO in a dog’s life with the new sponsorship program at The Cayman Islands Humane Society. For as little as CI $40.00, you can sponsor a dog’s food bowl! A one month sponsorship is $40.00, 3 months is $120.00, 6 months is $240.00, and 1 year is $480.00. Isn’t that wonderful way to contribute to a pet’s new life?

If you can’t spare the $40.00, pop by and pick up a Gift Card for $5.00. There are donation cards that come in Birthday, Sympathy or General Donation variations. They will mail them out for you, or you can deliver them yourself. What a super idea for kids, co-workers or any animal lover.

The Humane Society has a wish list:  http://www.caymanhumanesociety.com/donate_wishlist.php. Volunteer dog walkers and groomers are always needed and greatly appreciated. The book store is in need of books, and volunteers to sort books, stock shelves, and sell the books. If you are a book lover, you probably already know that this store has a wonderful selection of books for only a few dollars each. The thrift store has just had a lovely renovation (complete with brand new hardwood floors) so clean out your closets and bring in those clothes and household goods you aren’t using. Good ole’ cash donations are always appreciated too!  This wonderful organization relies on the community, so please help out in any way that you can.

Last but not least, the Humane Society has the most amazing dogs and cats available for adoption! I was there a few days ago and I wish I had a huge home like Oprah, so I could bring them all home with me. They were all so friendly, loving, and just begging to come home to a loving family. Good friends of mine have three rescued Cayman “mutts” that are some of the finest dogs I know; two of them came from the Humane Society. (Their other dog turned up as a tiny puppy behind our office, abandoned by his mother, and grew up to be a big, strapping guy that has an absolutely fabulous life.)

To sign up for the new sponsorship program:

Be a HERO today!

By the way, the cute doggie in the picture is Gordon. He’s the Featured Pet: http://www.caymanhumanesociety.com/index.php. If you need a new best friend, or know of someone who might, please forward the link so Gordon can find his “forever home”!

Training

Attention Cayman pet owners: the best place in the Cayman Islands for your treasured family pet is Cayman Pet Paradise. In business for over 30 years, Cayman Pet Paradise provides fantastic boarding services for dogs, cats and family pets as well as exercise, training and grooming on three acres of grounds. They even offer “doggy day care” for those of us who work long hours and want to treat our pampered pooches to some TLC while we’re at the office!

For more challenging pets, Cayman Pet Paradise works closely with expert trainer Kenneth Morgan, who provides training on secure grounds for pets with a wide variety of behavioral problems. Dogs with milder issues have great success with Trainer/Groomer Alison Jackson, who also conducts training sessions at Cayman Pet Paradise. Sessions can be arranged while pets are being boarded, or day sessions can be scheduled depending on the needs of the pet. I can personally attest to Alison’s skills when it comes to helping socialize skittish or shy pets. She has helped our Toy Fox Terrier overcome social anxieties. Beano was rescued from a puppy mill, and Alison’s training sessions have helped him immensely.

Cayman has no “dog parks”, so it’s great to know that for condo dwellers with dogs, you can arrange to exercise your pets in a large, fenced-in area for only $5.00 for 30 minutes. It’s a well maintained area set up for agility training, with water and a dog house. There is even a comfy bench in the shade for owners.

We have worked with Cayman Pet Paradise for years and can’t say enough wonderful things about them; they are like family! When we pull up to the ranch, our dogs jump out of the car, tails wagging, looking for Alison, Manager Teresa Strad or any of the other friendly folks that work at Cayman Pet Paradise. It’s a relief to know that our pets are in good hands when we travel.

Do call well in advance for public holidays. Cayman Pet Paradise one hot ticket, especially for Easter, Christmas/New Years, and all the Cayman Islands Holidays.
