DF Members Do Good and Do Well In Dubai !


Concord Hi everyone, Some DF members may be doing well in Dubai and I thought of an opportunity to also do some good. Here are the details of the opportunity: As you may know there is an organization called K-9 Friends which cares for abandoned dogs from the UAE (not just Dubai). Many of these pets are abandoned by expats who get a dog while here and then simply abandon them when its time to go home! I visited their facility a few months back to see if I could help. They can use help (in many ways) and I have been helping a small bit. I am impressed by the care that these volunteers provide and by the facilities they have – many, if not all, of these dogs would die but for K9 Friends (a not-for-profit organization run wholly by volunteers). As you know, and some of us are about to find out, July and August are extremely hot months in Dubai. The dogs at K9 Friends reside in properly cooled and ventilated areas. It is however necessary for them to go outside to exercise, be feed, and take care of physiological needs. These activities are done outdoors in their play pens which although “shaded” get hot. I had an idea that K9 Friends should get an Ice Machine so that ice cubes can be given to the dogs (they love them); ice can be put in their water dishes, and in cooling pools which they use for “refreshment”. I called a couple of places and obtained a quotation for an Ice Machine and got a quote for it: Balrine Ice Machine, model B40-AS, capacity 16 Kg. Price: 5,320 Dirhams. I know nothing about Ice Machines! The price is a bit steep for a single person so I thought there might be other members of the forum willing and able to contribute to the donation of an Ice Machine to K9 Friends. They will secure a plaque to the machine stating “Gracious Donation of Members”. In any event, I am pledging one thousand (1,000.00) Dirhams towards the purchase if anyone else is willing and able to contribute please let me know. You need not state in public how much you are able to contribute. On the forum just indicate your ability to contribute (you can let me know how much via pm). I will run a list of Donors on the forum without any amount associated with a name. Once enough funds are made available (hopefully soon as July begins tomorrow!) then the purchase can be made. Any and all funds in excess of the above amount (as I am optimistic of your generosity) will be donated to K9 Friends as they sure can use the funds, etc. All monies will be handed directly to K9 Friends no me (we'll work out the logistics). I know you are feeling good about the meet last night and as I sit in my office this morning I thought of appealing to your generosity and seizing the moment. Thank you in advance. P.S. If you are able to foster a dog, adopt a dog, sponsor a dog or sponsor a kennel, please give K9 Friends a call (4) 347-4611 (). Regrettably I am unable to foster or adopt a dog myself do to limitations in space and busy work schedule (not enough time at home). P.S.P. If anyone knows of a better price for an Ice Machine or has an Ice Machine available then even better. Let me know. P.S.P II. I recognize that there are dog lovers and heaters in the forum. For my part I will not respond to sophomoric comments regarding pets (at least in this thread) so please save the keystrokes. PSP III. As a prize to the most generous donor I will give that person the prestigious award I received at last night's meet. These are the very first PSP's ever awarded in Dubai to anyone in the world! (I will also include the certificate of authenticiy - also bestowed last night).

C, as far as I can remember "C" is you buddy. Is there something new you are not sharing with us? Concord
I think it was a Freudian slip in thinking there are more willing donors in DF!

XRW-147 Actually, come to think of it Chocs (C) could be interested as well. Lets wait til K catches up with her sleep and Chocs is back to her hormonal best before we push ahead. In the mean time I also would have thought there would be other members who believed in a worth while cause. Concord
So did I but remain optimistic. I think it is that they haven't gotten over the euphoria of the DF Meet!
Unfortunately they won't sell it to me if I pay for the ice machine with ZD's or PSP's.

Anyone else? Its hot out there! Concord Ok folks, Time to collect the funds pledged so far. I suggest you pm me as to when you can hand me the amount you have pledged. I can meet you at Emirates Mall any evening after 7 pm. It doesn't have to be everyone at once. I'll make separate trips if necessary. I figure that the mall will be more convenient to everyone. I live in the Marina so will travel to Emirates mall. But let me know whether that is inconvenient to anyone, etc. P.S. I have collected 250 dirhams so far (plus my pledge). HP
Few times , i sent and got money from Dubai and its quite messy . If i visit Dubai in december then u can get from me for nxt summer :) .
I am not gonna come inside the Mall. U have to come inside Carrefour :lol: Concord
Sure I'll meet you at Carrefour [there is one at the emirates mall] - I'll bring the camera. I'll put you down for 500 dirhams. Concord Donor Roster For Purchase Of Ice Cube Making Machine To Make Summer Tolerable To Puppies - To Be Donated To K9 Friends.

DaveDXB I dont mean to be rude. We have the whole world dying out their? im talking abt humans.... And i have to worry abt puppies??? lol. You know how much good approximalty 5000 AED would do to help those ppl out there in need rather than buying an ice cube machine? Buy a 2 tone air conditioner for 2000 AED! (cheaper solution for the heat) could this be some kind of scam? Concord
Not a scam. And if you know of a way of cooling the outdoors with a 2 tonne air conditioner then Bill Gates will be the second richest man in the world after you! kanelli So, it is logical to only help humans first, and when poverty, disease, and discomfort for all humans is solved, then we turn our attention to other animals? :roll: Concord Donor Roster For Purchase Of Ice Cube Making Machine To Make Summer Tolerable To Puppies - To Be Donated To K9 Friends.

I've collected 2,050 dirhams out of 5,220 pledged. kanelli Fork it over people - it is immoral to pledge money and then not give it.
