PAWSitivement MCB Sterilisation Campaign Launch 18 August
at Mont Choisy - The PAWSITIVEMENT MCB Sterilisation Campaign
was officially launched at the MCB Branch at Mont Choisy on
Saturday 18 August. The Mauritius Commercial Bank presented
PAWS with a cheque for Rs. 154,080. which will
cover the medical and surgical costs of 30 sterilisation days
at or near MCB branches throughout the island over one year.
A poster competition for the children of MCB employees was
won by Virginie Bancilhon (15). Virginie's poster has been
put up in all the MCB branches to advertise the campaign.
We have already visited Mon Choisy, Triolet, Pamplemousses,
Goodlands, Chemin Grenier, Floreal, Plaine Magnien Curepipe
and Phoenix, and sterilised 274 dogs and cats under the MCB
banner. The next sterilisation day will take place at the
MCB Branch in Flacq, on
Saturday 15 March, from 9a.m to 2p.m.
The PAWS stands and the Flag Day activities organised
on 15, 16 & 17 November 2007 at Le Caudan, Shoprite, London
Way Black River, Jumbo Riche Terre and Super U Grand Bay were
a huge success! We collected Rs 98,326 during the 3 days!
We would like to thank all the volunteers who gave up their
time to shake tins, and the ladies who counted all the coins!
This year, PAWS Flag Day will be held on 13,
14 & 15 November. If you would like to help with
the collection, please let us know, as we would like to start
planning this Fundraising Event now, to collect more funds
to help the animals. Please let us know on which day(s) and
for how many hours you may be available.We need your help
to make a difference!
In a dramatic series of events, a dog was rescued "Pont
Naturel - L'Escalier" Wednesday 6th February 2008. Thanks
to all who helped. Please read the
story and see the footage of this heroic rescue.

commit for a minimum of 6 months.
We need someone
who has good ideas for fund raising, and can organise the
fund raising events. See our events

Field Work is very
rewarding because we do make an impact and a real difference
to the lives of the animals we treat. If you would like to

tips |

Jogging with your dog
We may live in a concrete jungle, but a dog was not bred
for that. Jogging or running on concrete or other hard surfaces
can damage a dog's bones, muscles and pads. Walking your dog
on the sidewalk is fine, but grass or dirt is much safer for
the faster pace. (Extended periods of jogging on any surface
can cause damage to a dog that is still growing.)
Picking up your dog or puppy
Dogs do not have shoulder joints like people and cats do.
Their front legs can't go up high, so be careful when you
pick up a puppy or small dog, or when you make a dog or puppy
stand up.
Reward vs Punishment
Praising a dog when it acts correctly is more effective than
shouting "No"! when it misbehaves. If a dog jumps
up, ask it to sit and then praise it for sitting. You will
have a happier pet and he/she will be easier to train.
