EDUCATION IS THE KEY
"Education is the Key" is a new initiative started by Amigos de Animales and Kris Berg of Howling Success K9 Services
Here in Boquete, we see too many sick, mistreated, starving animals; we see children and adults who have no idea how to care for their animals, or indeed any clear idea that the animals are living breathing creatures that need food and water and care just like they do.
In order to make the most impact, any true mindset shift must start with the education of the children. To effect that change, Amigos de Animales has teamed up with Howling Success to begin educating the children of Chiriqui on how to properly care for their dogs, cats and other animals. FADAB, Howling Success and Bizzie the Border Terrier, a registered Therapy dog, will be going to the schools in Chiriqui and together they will begin to work with the children.
We are fortunate to have Kristine Berg, owner of Howling Success K9 Services with us. Kristine is very familiar with education and working with school children. While involved with animal services in the US, Kristine ran an extremely successful education program teaching about the care and safety of dogs with children in elementary and middle schools in South Carolina and Arizona.
One of the long range goals of Fundacion Amigos de Animales Boquete has been education in the proper care and treatment of animals. Together with Kris, we are about to begin just that. Our first "Education is the Key" fundraiser in July of this year held at the Howling Success facility was a "Howling Success!" We brought in more than $2000 for the launch of a program that we hope will make a huge difference in the lives of the animals and their caretakers in the Boquete/Chiriqui region. Photos of the fundraiser are here.
We have a new website tab for this special project and we will keep you updated on "Education is the Key" as we progress in the future.

WELCOME TO FADAB....
thank you for stopping by our site. We’re a group of volunteers with a big task...... to spay and neuter the street animal and local pet populations in Boquete, Panama to eliminate the hunger and suffering of unwanted dogs and cats.
We also support rescue services, care for homeless animals, fostering, placement, and education programs.
Our efforts are made possible by generous donors like you.
In only six years, we have sterilized more than 4,000 dogs and cats through our monthly financially-subsidized clinics. We not only serve animals in the town of Boquete but reach into remote, mountainous, and indigenous areas to take our services to as many animal populations as possible.
While we are making progress, much more remains to be done. Your donations will help us continue to provide these important services to Western Panama.
If you are looking for a way to make a difference on behalf of animals – FADAB would like to be your partner in that effort.
