ESK Calendar donation and visit to the Centre
Often the elder generations amongst us moan and complain about the “youngsters of today” 
for various reasons (not so polite, not so helpful, not so hardworking etc etc) but that cannot be said about these youngsters ….
ESK students who are part of the ESK Helping Hands Group had designed and been selling their 2019 calendars ….. all of the monies raised has been donated to KAR.
They recently visited our Rescue Centre and presented us with a cheque for 7060TL – What a fantastic amount and what a fantastic thing for these youngster to do.
During their visit it was amazing to see, even the most nervous of students, begin to feel calmer and much more comfortable with touching and stroking the dogs. It was special to see the way the students interacted 
with the cats and dogs and listened intently as they learnt more about what we do, why we do it, and what we hope to do.
With youngsters such as these there is plenty of promise for the future of the animals in TRNC.
As Franklin D Roosevelt said ….
” We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.”

The Centre had a visit from The Near East Veterinary Department. A Professor and Vets who are researching Leish tested a selection of centre dogs. We are more than happy to help with hands on research into Leish on the Island!!
It has been a busy time recently in KAR Pet Travel
So much so that there has not been time to catch up with all of our travelling pets … but we will try and feature some of them over the next week or so.
Friday night (24th May) saw the arrival of the Fab 4 at Ercan. They had flown in all the way from Miami. It was not long after they touched down that Ercan rang out with the sound of Gizmo’s chorus – an excellent vocalist – appreciated by not many!! It seems that despite such a long journey he was determined to let everyone know that he had “Arrived”. Tootsweet (who was sharing his box) meanwhile just looked at him with disdain (and a headache!). Samson and DishDash (who is camera shy) buried their heads in shame.
Once their customs and government vet checks and paperwork had been processed the Fab 4 left the building. Once Gizmo was out of his box he decided that he had quite enough of entertaining the crowds and not a further peep was heard from him.
Welcome to the TRNC Pawley Fab 4.

KAR are jumping through hoops for their dogs.
Introduction by Chris Elliott..
I was very amused by a video and comment that Kyrenia Animal Rescue posted on our CyprusScene.com enewspaper Facebook page which we shared and are sharing again here as it speaks volumes of those wonderful KAR people who go the extra mile of going through hoops to help the animals at their rescue centre.
Please Share our Video of Elaine ‘testing out’ the Exercise area, as we need to spread the word of the work we are trying to achieve at the Centre. This Area was built using very little donated funds…. it was more of a scavenger 
hunt!!!! Please make people aware, and have a laugh at the same time….. We need the profile… so share, share, share….
Chris, the reason behind this video was to show everyone, that even if our backs are against the wall, we can still find the sunshine in a day in the life of KAR Centre Arapkoy.
The Exercise and Play Area was the brainchild of Elaine and her dedicated staff and volunteers who used their downtime and own time to complete the area. Very little donated money was used, it was mostly scavenged and recycled from the rubbish tips of the TRNC.
She asked the office to go up and take some photos of the nearly completed area, then decided that she wanted to ‘try it out’. She had no idea she was being videoed until halfway through…. by then it was too late and she was immortalized forever in social media……
She did end up with a very bruised toe after falling through the hoop………
If you think you can beat her time, 1min 37sec….. give it a go or take the time to put one of our dogs through its paces. Please, go visit, keep us relevant and help our dogs and cats.
