A CHIHUAHUA MAYBE..
stephen, thanks for letting me know you found two dogs, do you know if one of them has a limp? We are from Rhode Island, in the states and have been so worried about him…He was so friendly and he looked so scared and hungry…We went to Jonny Rockets and got him a burger to eat…The people at the harbor side couln’t wait to get rid of him, but all the guests, just fell in love with him…I guess he did his great escape before he was cought…Let us know if its him, and if there is anything we can do to help…thank you so much Isabel
i just came across your website and it looks really nice, i have a pet myself and he has had visits to the humaine society before. the staff is friendsly and i would like to say keep up the good work.
Good Morning!
I just wanted to thank you all so much for coming and picking up the lost dog on Monday, that I found here on Cable Beach on Sunday. He is soo sweet and so well-mannered. I was told by your absolutely wonderful and kind staff that all efforts would be made to find his owner and home. Please please contact me if you do not find his owner. I want to adopt him. I fell so in love with him and promised that if his owner did not come forward, he would have a home with us. You have my Bahamas phone number and now my email. Please do not adopt him to anyone else….
Thank You So Much!!! Maria P., Cable Beach Manor

Thanks

i love your animals
Hello Kim and all of you wonderful volunteers,
I have volunteered at All Saints a couple of years, and I am sure you are aware of the deplorable condition for the residents, but the dogs and cats also suffer. THE dogs are so hungry they eat the dirty diapers and the kittens. They travel in packs in that area and have been known to kill livestock at Adventure Learning Center. The people think of the dogs as wild animals to be feared and throw rocks at them or kill them. I realize that when people are so needy, animals’ needs do not come first. Is there anything your organization can do up there? Maybe capture and neuter some of the animals? I am a supporter of my local humane society and I appreciate that this is a big problem, but I knew you would want to know about conditions up there. Thanks so much.
Hello,
I am new to the area and have worked for many years with rescue and adoption in Florida….I would love to get involved…foster, or any other area that may be in need. Let me know how i can help.
Sincerely,
Denise
Hello to our new friends. Thought I would update you on the five potcakes that Lisa and I took from your facility on Feb. 7 to bring to West Palm Beach, FL. All the pups were given island names. We had Kalik, Lucaya, Goombay, Conch and Fritter. Kalik and Lucaya have been adopted (they were the small brindle ones in the crate in the office) and Fritter is getting adopted tomorrow. Conch (the little girl that had been in your shelter since she was a baby in October is my favorite and has a potential adoptor coming to see her this weekend from Key West (the Conch Republic). That will leave me with Goombay, the all black potcake. She will eventually find her forever home. All are fattened up, healthy and happy. Thanks again for helping us to get them here. Ruth
i want teki please
I am staying at atlantis and have been feeding stray cats. I am reaching out to atlantis but wanted to reach out to you as well. These cats need to be fixed and vacinated. They are very friendly but they need some attention. I am more then willing to donate funds for their care. One young cat is already pregnant! Please help by reaching out to atlantis.
Look at Mikey! Great recovery!
Can you please block “Dady Hots Miller” from posting on your FB wall?? His comments are inappropriate and ignorant sounding.
hi, i saw some pics of the doberman Robin. you mention that she had mange, is it mange or is it color mutant alopecia? this is a disease that is common in blue dobes and looks a lot like mange.anyway, good luck finding her a home.
hello ruth i would like to know if you guys have any house dogs????
We have two at the moment, visit them at the Shelter.
can you please tell me where you all are located and are they up for adoption?
Hello. I’m so glad I found this website! I was at Paradise Island a couple weeks ago and I visited downtown Nassau one day. I came across a dog laying on the sidewalk who was being abruptly shooed away by a local man. When I bent to pet him, the man informed me that I shouldn’t touch him because “he’s a stray” and “he has diseases”. The ignorance of this man made me sick. I got the dog some food and water and called the humane society the next day from the resort. I am hoping he was picked up but cannot be sure. He had a limp (i was told he had been hit by a car on at least one occasion) and has a scar on his back end. He was the saddest dog I’d ever seen and he broke my heart. Could you please tell me if you have this dog??
That dog belongs to Jerry a fish vendor and he hangs around the dock during the day, we sadly do not
have a leash law here in The Bahamas and dogs are allowed to roam. There were actually about twelve dogs living on
the local park accross the street, but we have spayed and neutered them and place them up for adoption, so any dog
around there belong to one of the vendors.
Hi. I was on a vacation at Sheraton hotel last week and at night time I saw a cat with 2 kittens and 2 other cats wondering in their beach lounge chair area. Could you please help them? They seem to be people friendly because they actually came up to us and even walk on the beach with us. Maybe TNR at least? I wish I lived in Nassau so I can help them. Thanks!
Hello,
I am fifteen years old and unable to get to the humane society. I live in Eleuthera, where the vet only comes once a month. My dog’s leg is really really swollen. He can’t walk on it at all. Is there anything I can do about it right now? I’m afraid he may get an infection. What can I do about this?
is there another number to reach mr. glinton at K9 control, pls. i was given 325-1173?? also, where is that place k9 control, pls?
Hi Sharon
Sorry for the late reply, that is the only number, but you can phone the Mins of Agriculture and they
could contact the k-9 Unit, they are located right next door to us in the Botanic Gardens
I am desperately attempting to contact a Mr Clive Toomer, formerly of Scotiabank. It is a matter of great importance that he or his wife get a message to contact me at the above email address. It would be greatly appreciated if you could see you way fit to pass this message on to Clive.
