Celebre o Dia Internacional do Animal em Quarteira!
O ARA (Animal Rescue Algarve), em parceria com a Junta de Freguesia de Quarteira, convida-o a celebrar o Dia Internacional do Animal no dia 4 de outubro, na Praça do Mar. Junte-se a nós e ajude os nossos amigos de quatro patas!

O programa inclui várias atividades:

10h00 às 13h00: Venha conhecer os animais do ARA que estão à espera de uma família e visite o stand de merchandising para ajudar a nossa causa. Não perca o Superdog Show (das 10h00 às 10h30), um espetáculo divertido para toda a família!

10h30: Junte-se à concentração para a Cãominhada, que se realizará entre as 11h00 e as 12h00. Traga o seu cão e caminhe connosco! A participação é livre, e no final haverá um sorteio de prémios.

Doações: A sua ajuda é preciosa! Contribua com um donativo em géneros para alimentar os nossos gatinhos e cães.

E há mais...

1 a 31 de outubro: Visite a exposição fotográfica "À espera de um lar" no Centro Autárquico, disponível em dias úteis das 9h00 às 16h30. É uma oportunidade de ver os nossos animais de um modo diferente e, quem sabe, encontrar o seu futuro melhor amigo.

Visita ao ARA: No dia 2 de outubro, das 9h45 às 12h15, o ARA estará de portas abertas para visitas. As vagas são limitadas, por isso inscreva-se até 29 de setembro na Junta de Freguesia de Quarteira.

A sua presença faz a diferença. Contamos consigo!
