Spay/Neuter 700 homeless dogs in Tabio, Colombia

Happy new year, dear donor and friend, You Know Who!! There is not much to tell, due to summer vacations, but we already announced in our publications that we are ready for the next round. Hopefully, this year we’ll be able to accomplish our goal by neutering 100 local strays, or even more!! It seems to be quite a Sisyphus work, though we neutered 50 strays last year, there will always appear more dogs in the streets. The reason for this is that at weekends many tourists come to visit Tabio, and not always with the best intentions, but to abandon their family dogs and leave them terrified and disoriented.

Due to Ana’s move to Bogotá, we lost our only foster home, where some of our special strays could recover from surgery, but optimistically we’ll find another caring angel, willing to fill the gap left by our dear friend.

So, let’s do it! Let’s continue our effort, let’s fulfill the promise made to our strays!!! We are so grateful that the donations keep coming, we’ve already received a small amount that guarantees a fresh start. Thank you and blessings.

Dear donor and friend, You Know Who. We are approaching 50 surgeries so far and hopefully will be able to continue next year our Spay & Neuter program. At the beginning of 2019 we were sure that we could reach our goal of 100 strays in only one year, but in spite of our efforts, that was not possible. So, instead of focusing on what we did not achieve, we are so proud that with your inestimable support we changed the lives of 45 adults and even puppies. We try to follow their life trace and are happy to share that quite a number of dogs and cats could be re-homed into forever homes. Unfortunately, our community lost one of their pals due to a car accident last month, Manchas (003). Resuming our experiences of this year, we can still see that our community is not yet prepared for actions like these and there must be done a lot of additional work to educate and create awareness and compassion. Though, we are grateful to make the difference and that you, You Know Who, are an important part of the process and the progress. Thank you.
