Spay/Neuter 700 homeless dogs in Tabio, Colombia

Dear donor and friend, two weeks ago we rescued a little abandoned stray. He was in a really bad shape, underweight, dehydrated, his poodle fur tangled and dirty, not neutered, with cataracts and papillomas all over his skin and a disastrous dental status. He came to a foster home, where he soon adapted nicely, but is still suffering separation anxiety. As soon as he entered the living room, he fell in love with the two female seniors, both spayed, but he doesn´t mind, and started to mark territory. At an estimated age of 15, considering sterilization is risky and though most of our shelter dogs are spayed/neutered, not realizing the surgery is also an option, as we explained in a former report. In little Bo´s case, neutering him is worth a try, to avoid an important stress factor not only in his life, but also in the life of his human fosters. So we are now preparing him for his next adventure, with blood samples and a cardiological examination. And we found a veterinarian, who offers gas anesthesia as an alternative to the common one. In fact, it is considered the gentlest and safest form of anesthesia, ideal for monitoring respiratory and cardiac function. Additionally, we take the opportunity to remove some of the papillomas and do a dental cleaning. Hopefully, after the procedure, we’ll receive a completely renewed senior pup!!!
