Dear Friends of Peanut Pet Shelter
As the year draws to a close, we started to compile a list of all the people we would like to thank for their wonderful help and support throughout 2009. However, as the list grew longer and longer, we realized what an impossible task it would be. Our list of Peanut Pet Shelter friends is over 800 strong. The warmth, kindness and generosity of our friends keeps the shelter running and the animals alive - fed, wormed, vaccinated, medicated, medically treated and sterilized.
This year has brought huge and exciting developments:

At Peanut Pet Shelter we never stand still. Every day is alive with hard physical work, together with new projects, ideas and fresh approaches.
Our vision for the future is very clear. Everything takes time, but by constantly moving forward, day by day, inch by inch, there is so much that can be achieved.
Our passion for what we do never wavers and the constant good wishes and positive vibes that we receive via emails, forums, Facebook, telephone calls and face-to-face meetings, buoys us up during difficult times.
We are extremely grateful to those local people and tourists who give up their precious time to visit and participate in our Saturday dog washes and those of you who are always willing to pick up a shovel, rake or hammer to help out whenever needed.
2010 will inevitably bring its own new set of challenges, headaches, highs and lows, smiles and sorrows, but we are ready to meet them head on and hope that you will continue to walk by our sides - for you,our friends, are the beating heart that keeps the shelter alive.
Very special thanks to you all from:
