AAASosua runs the Thrift Store in Sosua ,Dominican Republic which provides valuable funds to carry on the work of the AAASosua.
AAASosua carries out spay and neuter clinics to keep the population of stray and uncared for dogs and cats under control, provides emergency care for animals in distress and an adoption service. The Thrift Store also serves as an information centre where upcoming AAASosua events and where the details of available adoption animals can be viewed.
It is located in Beach Way Plaza next to the Check Point bar. It occupies two bays of the shops fronts on the right and the premises are kindly donated by North Coast Realty.

Thanks also to those volunteers who stand in on occasions needed to support the Thrift shop

Volunteer your time and talents and donate directly. New Volunteers that can consistently give their time to manning the Thrift Shop are needed to help those that already do it and to allow more consistent opening hours. If you are interested contact Dee Morrison of AAASosua or talk to the existing Thrift Shop Volunteers.

Last year in 2013 , the AAASosua spayed and neutered over a THOUSAND Dogs and Cats and helped many others. Go to the AAASosua Facebook page - aaassosua and ?Like us on Facebook? and see all the latest!

The takings for the day were higher than previous record days in the last two years and make a good contribution to AAASosua funds. A big thanks for all the volunteers that turned up to support the Sale ? Vera, Mel, Francine, Nicole and all the others that purchased items.
A special thanks to Mel for being the cashier and Vera for coming early to help spread the word..

The painters have already started on the roof and once the bulk of the stock is cleared the inside will be renovated. So watch out for calls for volunteers to do the painting and renovation.
The Thrift store will remain closed after Saturday 9th until mid September when it will re-open with new stock!

what one store did to compete with the big boys was ...i could bring in a bag or two of things...with my name on it...it was looked thru and a value was put on it...you were then given a store spending credit... it wasnt much but itwould but a pair of pants and a shirt....about a fifth of the value you could spend back...give and take....owners said it worked well for them as people bought in more instead of putting in bins....
good luck and ill be by
