Sponsor a dog for the spay/neuter event

Next week we will be spending Thursday and Friday at the beach to catch as many dogs as we can for sterilization. We have a list of about 16 residents and 8 new dogs that we are concentrating on catching. Many of the residents, like Connie and Kaly, have been there for 2 or more years and have continued to reproduce - and their babies are having babies. They are so terrified of humans they will have to be caught using sedatives, traps, and catchpoles. Unfortunately, due to their absolute fear of humans, these dogs are not considered adoptable and we will have to return them to the beach after their sterilizations. But others, like Gina, Maggie, and Byron, are more friendly and will be easier to catch. And we want to keep them and start them on the process for adoption. That means taking them for sterilization but also getting all their vaccinations, heartworm test, treatments for internal and external parasites, general health check, etc..

We have worked out discounts with the wonderful vets Dr. Reyes and Dr. Serrano who have agreed to charge us just $75 for males and $90 for females. That includes the sterilization and rabies vaccination as well as 2 nights of boarding for the males and 4 nights boarding for the females (to give them longer for their incisions to heal). This is a great discount price however, even if we only catch 10 males, that's $750. And if they are adoptable, the prices goes way up for all the tests, treatments, and 3+ weeks in foster care.

If you would like to sponsor a dog for this event, please go to our DONATE page. We already have 13 dogs in foster care in Puerto Rico that we're working on getting to the states for adoption so anything you can send is sincerely appreciated.
