What .. No Presents! the Biggest Sacrifice Imaginable This happy couple are Phil and Ali .. these guys got married on Saturday 7th October 2006 .. instead of wedding presents .. these wonderful people put YAPS donation boxes on their wedding tables and collected money for Yaps to help us save more animals. Yaps Staff wish you both all the happiness in the world for making such an unselfish request! Red Forest Peak Estate Ladies held a Xmas party to raise money to purchase Animal Weighing Scales for YAPS .. these new scales were needed desperately .. as monitoring the improvement of abused and neglected animals by checking their weight regularly is a necessary part of their recovery .. Well Done Girls!! Sabre and her 4 puppies were a sad example of the great need for the Weighing Scales. Nay and Coastie are HUGE supporters of Yaps Animal Refuge .. these great guys work behind the scenes .. often a call from Yaps Staff spark off a much needed call to the public .. some times it is for food or the need for a foster family .. but more often it is about a special animal that needs a special family .. these wonderful people send out the alarm and in no time the animal is rehomed or the food bins are full. Thank You Guys and Every One stay tuned to Hot FM 103.5 Nay Coastie told by Tracie Worth and Applauded by YAPS Fundraising for YAPS The joy that came from my dog I saved from the pounds was the beginning of an idea that travelled to Cairns with me 3 years ago .. I wanted to help animals because they cannot help themselves .. they offer us so much unconditional love .. I wanted to give them something back .. people should have a licence to own an animal because of the abuse that far too many experience .. I would like to see pet shops minimize on animal stock like dogs and cats and for all people to think of an animal refuge first when looking to find a new cat or dog to add to their family .. in Cairns we have YAPS.
