Tony Waters is a well-known name among animal lovers in Bahrain. Fondly known as 'The Dogfather, Tony runs The Dogfather Rescue & Rehabilitation Centre in Saar, home to more than 450 rescued dogs, cats, birds, and even a donkey. Though many of us extend support with food and finance, very sadly it is not enough and Tony is struggling to stay open. The centre is regularly facing closure crises, with it becoming increasingly difficult to give each animal in the Centre the required amount of attention to ensure it's well-being. A recent article in the Gulf Daily News even mentioned that the workers who help Tony at the Centre intended to go on strike as they weren't paid their salaries for more than a month and a half due to lack of funds. If this happens, it will be impossible to feed, water, and care for the animals for even one day.
How can you help? Ibantuta playing the Flamenco Guitar

When & Where: Catch Ibantuta’s performance during ‘Musicians Without Borders’ at the Cultural Hall on 14th October and Ayam Zaman music video launch at Maison Jamsheer on 20th October.
An initiative like Tony's Centre is a community project and here's your chance to paw it forward! Contributions to help cover rent, salaries, electricity, dog and cat food, vet bills and medical supplies are much needed and appreciated.

homes of wealthy merchants, shops, storehouses and a mosque. Though pearl trade in the Kingdom is not as important around these parts any more, the Pearling Trail is a must-visit on the island because it tells you all about the trade which drove Bahrain’s economy until the discovery of oil.

he Kingdom of Bahrain, which literally means ‘two seas’, has a sea-based legacy extending back to 1345 AD.
