The drawing for the lucky raffle winners takes place at the end of April. Raffle coupons are effective from April 2020 through March 2021. All proceeds benefit Dogs and Cats of Antigua (DACOA).
DACOA is a non-profit organization. It is a foster based network which operates from a Facebook page Dogs and Cats of Antigua Discussion Group. It has been in business since January of 2015, they rescue, vet, foster and rehome Antigua's stray dog population. Since 2015, they have rehomed close to 1900 dogs and cats, 1100 pets have been rehomed overseas, mainly in the US and Canada and a few in the UK.
A DACOA spokesperson said “We are thrilled to have the support of Antigua's restaurant community and we thank them for it. Most of these restaurant owners are dog lovers but they know that stray dogs are bad for business and more importantly they want to know that strays are cared for in a humane way that respects the animal. Every dog we rescue is vetted thoroughly, we very seldom euthanize an animal unless there really is no hope for it. This means we spend a great deal of money treating dogs for health issues like heart worm, mange and vehicular accidents".
The Foodie Raffle is one of Dog’s and Cats of Antigua’s annual fundraisers and they are asking the public to support it because their work benefits everyone. They are hoping to raise at least $20,000.
