“We’d love to take you home”

ORANJESTAD — Sgt. Pepper’s Friends is
a non-profit animal rescue organiza-
tion founded and located in Aruba. Their
dogs and cats are available for adoption
in the United States, Canada, Aruba, the
Netherlands and Sweden as of now. Every
country they add to the list requires care-
ful research, but they hope to open up to
families in other countries in the future as
well. The organization loves our beautiful
island. However, the number of neglect-
ed, homeless, abandoned, sick and hun-
gry dogs and cats wandering the streets
is truly disturbing. Through donations and
the hard work of their volunteers and their
adoptive families, Sgt. Pepper’s Friends
are able to rescue many animals in need.

outside of Aruba. Their precious rescues Meet Little Snowball
are all mixed breeds. The dogs are called Last but definitely not least. Little Snowball

is the last available one of his all boys litter. He was the
little runt but has so much character. He is social, sweet,
happy and curious. He is almost 10 week’s old about 9
pounds. We expect an adult weight between 35 and 45
lbs. He has his first puppy vaccines. Will he be your new
companion?

Mighty Maxine
This girl is looking more beautiful, healthy and muscly by
the week. Mommy Maxine has done a great job raising
her puppies, but now it’s time for her to find a forever
family. She is completely vetted, around 1.5 years old
and healthy. She is good with people and did well on the
leash with the other dogs during our socializing walks. No
cats though! She is too much of a “huntress”. Is this beau-
tiful brindle welcome in your home?

To Boston Friends
Will you join us? August 25th at 1.30 our Boston team will
host the first @sgtpeppersfriends dogs meet greet and
Dogwalk in Millennium Park. They will arrange treats and
water for all four legged friends and a gift for all partici-
pants.

Should you want to gather or donate small supplies for
the Aruban rescues or donate, that is of course very
welcome. Our Boston team will make sure they will go
to Aruba. Other island rescues from Aruba are very wel-
come too of course. Check out their Facebook for more
