>Arabic Dog Care brochure / adoption poster available

>The Egyptian Society of Animal Friends has produced a Basic Dog Care

>Booklet in Arabic with illustrations. Originally inspired by an

>Arabic brochure produced by SPANA, it was developed in cooperation

>with our vets to make sure it addressed local issues and questions.

>We found that many middle class Egyptians who might want to adopt a

>dog just didn't know the first things about dogs and needed some

>basic information in Arabic. Pfizer helped to sponsor ours and

>provided one method of distribution (delivery to vets when Pfizer

>called on them or delivered vaccines to them). We're now beginning

>to develop a basic cat care brochure in Arabic, and then we hope to

>do a highly illustrated donkey care brochure that targets illiterate

>donkey drivers/owners.

>

>We have also produced a full color poster in English and Arabic (on

>the same poster) - essentially ' " adopt a friend for life " and

> " support your local animal shelter " with pictures of cats and dogs -

>it is meant to be a generic " permanent " adoption poster (in lieu of

>trying to post updated catalogs/lists of animals available). It is

>double A4 size, about 30 cm X 40 cm.

>

>We would be glad to make the original electronic versions available

>to anyone at no cost for use with or without credit to us - we just

>want to help get the message out. They were done in the

>professional graphics package Quark Express. You would be free to

>make any changes, replace our logo with yours, seek sponsoring

>advertisements, etc.

>

>I have scanned the dog brochure into a Word document that I could

>send as an attachment to anyone interested, along with the English

>translation. I've taken a digital photo of the poster and could

>send it is a .jpg attachment. I'll be getting the electronic files

>in Quark format from the graphics designer on CD, and could send the

>actual Quark files either electronically or on a CD depending on

>their size for you to take to your graphics designer.
