This is the main AARF logo, which shows three animals on a yellow life raft: a small black and white kitten, a larger brown dog with a collar and a small black and white dog. The raft is floating on blue waves suggesting the Caribban sea that surrounds Anguilla. Grey clouds suggest the need to find homes for these animals, while the sun peeks out behind the clouds, representing hope for these deserving animals

Events

AARF has many events during the year to reach out to the community and to raise funds. Among these are Bingo nights, yard sales and membership drives.

As part of our programs, we have an Education group that visits the local schools, most often with a dog as an example role model.

Bingo Night

Bingo. Beach. Food. Drinks. Fun. AARF friends. Prizes.

Held once or twice a year, this is an extremely fun and entertaining evening of Bingo, drinks, food, and socialization. On a lovely beach setting at Roy’s Bayside Grill in Sandy Ground, players have the chance to play in the neighborhood of fifteen games of Bingo, with a donated prize going to the winner of each game.

Prizes include art, food, transportation, lodging and more.

Drinks from a bar right amongst the player tables are available, as is an optional dinner. Players can come about an hours or so early, have a great dinner and stake out a spot to oversee the action.

Players can play with as many cards as their acumen can handle, with many cards to choose from (a small extra charge applies to each extra card). A real Bingo apparatus is used to mix and emit the numbers. Players get real Bingo cards with sliders to mark the called numbers and a sound system makes it easy to hear the caller.

This is a great event that you don't want to miss. You get to play Bingo on the beach. support AARF — and win great prizes!

To see how great this event is, read about a recent Bingo night in one of our Newsletters.

when we have a Bingo night, tickets be purchased at the door on the night of the event, or in advance from great friends who support us:

  • Anguilla Techni Sales
  • Geraud’s
  • Keene Enterprises

Yard Sale

Our yard sales offer an opportunity to purchase quality used goods which are donated to AARF throughout the year. (When you are cleaning house, think of AARF and bring your unwanted usable goods to the shelter — or to the AARF container at Anguilla Techni-Sales on the North Hill road.)

We have lots of goodies for you including: books, housewares, clothes (both new and used), toys, electronics, shoes, luggage, and more. Snacks and coffee are also available for purchase. And you can meet our volunteers and officers.

The yard sales are AARF’s biggest fund raisers. AARF receives no money from the government or any other official source: our entire budget (100%) comes from fundraisers, membership dues, and donations from our supporters like you.

Thanks to all of you, we are able to: have a shelter, provide free spay and neuter surgery for all AARF adoptions, help with financial assistance for surgeries and other medical care for those who couldn’t otherwise afford it, and provide other help for Anguilla’s dogs and cats, puppies and kittens.

Here are the upcoming dates for the Yard Sale. Unless otherwise noted, all event go from 9 a.m. until noon at Roy’s Bayside Grill in Sandy Ground. But we would even suggest coming a bit early. The crowds queue up well before opening time and really put the pressure on to open early.

We write about past yard sales in our newsletters.

For 2012, the dates are:

  • Saturday March 17
  • Saturday June 16
  • Saturday September 15
  • Saturday December 15

Sale tables are also available. Please call (264) 497–5445 or email gayle@askgayle.com to reserve one.

Written directions:

Take the road towards Sandy Ground. As you drive down the hill, the salt pond will be on the right.

At the bottom of the hill, the road curves around to the right and right when it straightens out, there will be a a road that goes to the left while the other part more or less goes straight ahead to the center of Sandy Ground and restaurants such as Ripples (like Roy’s, a great AARF supporter), Pumphouse, Johnnos, etc. as well as to other Sandy Ground businesses.

Take the road to the left. It goes to the port and main jetty, as well as to Roy’s.

The main port and jetty are used by the larger ships delivering goods to Anguilla. On most days, expect to pass many trucks parked on the road waiting to enter the port. Carefully drive past them.

Roy’s will be the last business on the right before going into the port facility; it has a small parking lot (and there is other parking on the other side of the street.

Warning: Do not enter the port area.

FYI: Roy’s has both a Facebook page and a web site with menus, photos and other details.
