New News
Yesterday, Liz, Steve, Mary, Yolanda, Christine, and Sandra all took part in an interview at the Yabucoa beach for Univision, the global Spanish-language news channel. This is GREAT exposure for the issue of cruelty in Puerto Rico and I know all the interviewees did a great job. Hopefully I'll be able to get a copy of the tapes.
And while they were there, they took another 8 dogs from the beach! Two new darlings, Kiara and Ziggy, were taken by Yolanda. Mary took Lex and a new one (sorry, no picture yet). Liz and Christine took Miles and Mindy (brother and sister) and Tucker.
Mary also was kind enough to take Yoshi and Janice to Dr. Burgos. Yoshi has a home, he just needs to get there and apparently his dog paddling skills are not up to par! He was taken to the vet b/c it was feared he had heartworm. Test results say.......NOPE! Good for Yoshi. And dear little Janice, she was taken in to be spayed. It was known that she was pregnant but thought to be not very far along. Once Dr. Burgos checked her out, he found a severe uterine infection that would definitely kill her puppies and would kill Janice within 2-3 days if a spay wasn't performed. So we had to say goodbye to the babies in order to save Janice's life. When the vet got inside, he found 8 puppies, and 2 of them were already dead and decomposing inside Janice's belly. That poor little girl. The surgery went well and she's resting comfortably for a few days until she too can come to the states to find a home.
