Praising Dr. GholamReza Abedi
Saturday, 20 November 2010
Health and medical issues of residents of Vafa Animal Shelter, in every aspect, has been intertwined with name of Dr. Gholamreza Abedi. Starting with spay and neutering, to orthopedic surgery of dogs hurt in car accident get done by him. Plus all this, on days that he goes to the shelter to do the spay and neutering there is a long line of dogs with various problems awaiting his attention.
Dr. Abedi has been an active supporter of this organization, no less than other founders, since the first days of our existence. This may be the reason that he always answers every question and phone call of our staff with patience and kindness and offers sincere guidance.
Even financially, we benefit from his utmost generosity as he bills us the smallest amounts or none at all when we are short in cash. There are not enough words to express our gratefulness and appreciation for all that this amazing doctor does for us.
We wish him longevity in health. May many more beings be blessed by his life.

Dear Friends & Supporters:
We are happy to report that our major project of tiling of one of the yards at the shelter (1200 sq meters) which was delayed due to lack of funds/resources, is almost half way done!
Unfortunately due to the amount raised for our special fund-raising, we were only able to start the most needed project which is the living situation for our dear residents at Vafa.

We made sure to send a thank you note to each and every supporter who helped us in this cause.
