Minor Surgery
On 12, Apr 2011 | In News | By The S.A.R.F.
S.A.R.F. permanent resident Marcel Lumpovitz, aka Lumpy, underwent surgery today to remove a stuffed flower growth from his hand/abdomen(ish). The procedure was quick and virtually painless, and he is recovering nicely. Lumpy says he’s excited about regaining use of his right hand and that he’s looking forward to feeling pertinent in seasons other than spring.
The stuffed flower is also doing fine.
SARF Petting Zoo – Sunday, April 25, 2010
On 17, Apr 2010 | In News | By The S.A.R.F.
We’ll be having our first non-37th St. petting zoo on Sunday! Tongue & Groove Theatre is having a fundraiser party for their upcoming production of The Red Balloon, and we’ll be there with SA’s in tow. Come support a good cause (really great play… if you didn’t see it last year, you’re lucky it’s happening again!), and meet some new Rescued Stuffed Animals. There will be music, and, well… people juggling fire (but not too close to the SAs!). Doors open at 5:30. The petting zoo will be open all night. Purchase tickets here: HERE
Last day of this year’s petting zoo
On 20, Dec 2009 | In News | By The S.A.R.F.
Well, it’s time for this year’s Stuffed Animals to head home for the holidays. Sure, most of them don’t have real homes yet, but they do have friends to visit. So, tonight is the last night of this year’s petting zoo. It’s been a fun though rather rainy few weeks. We hope everyone enjoyed meeting the new SA’s, and we look forward to reading all of your adoption applications. If you applied, you will be receiving an email from us in the next few days!
Happy holidays!
