Spay/Neuter 700 homeless dogs in Tabio, Colombia

Dear donor and friend, You Know Who. Every dog and cat have their own story, which might be forgotten when we accept them to our spay/neuter program and they turn into numbers, officially registered and microchipped. That is why we don’t practice mass sterilizations, because we want to know our buddies and it is so amazing to witness that our project really changes lives. Only one dog of our animals below had to be sent back to the street, a survivor, a modern Steppenwolf. Let me present our June-to-September-group and let me tell you that we are so proud of you being a part of this.

051: A homeless tabby cat had a litter of kittens, which easily were given away into forever homes. A local vet also found adopters for the mom and we spayed her before she went to her own home, enjoying tuna and her gym.

052-053-054: Two female puppies and a female poodle mix, abandoned on the parking lot of a restaurant. A famous place not only for hungry tourists, but also a meeting point for all the strays left there. The puppies presented complications after surgery, but after their recovery they luckily found forever homes. So did the poodle!!

055-056: A male and a female puppy were found hidden on a construction site. With the help of caring neighbours and our publications, they quickly were adopted. Their new families signed a compromise to get them neutered and two months later we all met at the vet’s.

057: They didn’t want her anymore and left her at the vet’s. The groomer gave her a lady-look, she was spayed and she got adopted in a wink.

058: A champion of the streets, an impressive big yellow female dog, who was released after being spayed. It’s a shame that we forgot to take a pic.

059: Pittielove!!!! Though she has a family, she was destined to give birth every so often. After various tries to convince her owner, he finally ceased and she was spayed before he could change his mind again.

060: Enana, a beautiful Jack Russell mix, didn´t have an easy life. She was reported as an abandoned and injured senior dog, hit by a motorbike, and stayed about two months hospitalized, recovering from a hip fracture. Everyone fell in love with her, she is such a sweetie, who after sterilization finally found a loving family.

061: Barbas has quite a story to tell. He was abused by his former owners, beaten and tortured because he was a feared chicken-killer. We got informed by the community and he came to a foster home, was neutered and sent to a groomer, just when a family showed up willing to adopt him. The first nights were glorious, because he slept in the same bed together with his human brother, a boy of six or seven. But then again some naughty chickens stepped into his life and the family dream was over. Poor little boy. They lied to him in order to explain the inexplicable. Barbas was luckier. A “city woman” (no chicks!!!) saw his pic on Facebook and now he lives in an apartment with two sister cats and a loving mom.  And they lived happily ever after.

062: A peasant came to ask if we could help him to spay his Beagle mix, because she had puppies twice a year. We were happy to help her to a better life. There was no time for a photo, sorry.

063: The Spaniel mix lives with our local recyclers, and as they told us, it has been quite a productive life so far. A volunteer fostered her during some postoperative days and now she’s back with her family, no worries, no more puppies!!

064: This sweet Yorkie is a recent puppy mill rescue. One of our volunteers saved her from an urban puppy mill and adopted her rightaway. Surgery proved that she must have had a lot of  litters. She is safe now, a sweet little whirlwind ready for a new life.

The credit is all yours!!! Thank you so much for your generosity.
