The South Burnett branch of Animal Angels Rescue held a garage sale in Kingaroy last weekend to raise much-needed funds for the animal rescue organisation.

Tables full of donated items were on display at the Girl Guides Hut in Mant Street.

The morning also served as an “awareness raiser” for the organisation, which has been operating in the local area for about 12 months.

AAR volunteers brought along their own animals – as well as dogs and cats that they were fostering – to add some liveliness to the event.

The star again was Queeny and her 12 pups – a dog surrendered to the organisation who no one thought would survive the traumatic process of giving birth.

A very special friend of Queeny was also recognised on the day.

Grace Kerlin, 11, from Toorbul, heard about Queeny’s plight and set up a Facebook page to help raise funds for her.  She travelled up to Kingaroy especially at the weekend to see her and her puppies.

AAR South Burnett branch co-ordinator Sam Pryor  presented Grace with a certificate and presents as Animal Angels Rescue’s “Ambassador of the Year”.
