This weekend is all about the animals beginning with the We Care for Animals Pet Adoption which will be held on Saturday morning at 150 North Yucca Street at 9:30 a.m.

We Care for Animals finds quality homes for homeless companion animals, provides low-cost or free spay and neuter for pets of qualified pet owners as well as assistance with Trap, Neuter and Return (TNR) of community (feral and free-roaming) cats, particularly in the under-served Arizona Strip.

Adoption fees cover shots, spay/neuter and vet checks so don’t breed or buy, adopt and give a great animal a second chance for a forever home.

It’s time for the second annual Donkey Jamboree so don’t miss out on all the fun to be had at the Golden West Casino where the Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue will hold a the annual fundraising event.

The activities will include a book signing by Mark Meyers, Founder of PVDR, showing of the new video documentary “Forgotten – The Plight of the American Donkey”, raffle prizes, food and donkeys.

The PVDR is the nation’s largest donkey rescue which provides rescue and rehabilitation services to donkeys suffering from abuse, neglect and abandonment throughout the US.

Join the PVDR in their efforts to save the donkeys by attending this event at the Golden West on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Whatever activity they you are looking for, you can always find what’s happening right here in the community calendar every Thursday in print or everyday online at www.mesquitelocalnews.com/category/calendar.

If you want them to find you, you know what to do, send all your events to tphilswife@aol.com, please put “community calendar” in the subject line or your submission may get lost in cyber space.

I look forward to spreading the word about all the great community events you have coming our way.
