Spay and neuter event in July
We'll be having a TNR (trap - neuter - release) event on July 19 & 20 at Dead Dog Beach to get the "repeat offenders", particularly those girls who just keep pumping out puppies, spayed and neutered. We've tried many times in the past to get them but they are just not interested in being nabbed - they won't let any of us get close to them. But we'll be equipped with catchpoles, hotdogs, sedatives, and lots of patience. Dr.'s Reyes, Ramos, Serrano, and Alviero have all agreed to take part in the event, giving us reduced costs for the procedures. The dogs will also get their rabies shots. Unfortunately, we don't have any foster care set up for them so they will have to be returned to the beach after a few days of recovery at the clinic. It's sad and we hate doing it, but really, these girls are pretty feral and their lives would be miserable in a kennel. So at least this will reduce the continuing population explosion. Anyone who would like to help out with the catching and ferrying of dogs to vets, please let me know because we can use you all! And of course we need funds in order to pay for the procedures - the spay/neuter, rabies shot, and boarding will cost about $80-90 per dog.
