Here are some more photos from the Spay day at Mshingishingini Community that took place on June 21, 2014. 52 dogs (plus 1 cat) were sterilized and a further 30 dogs were vaccinated against rabies, de-wormed, and received free medical examinations. The photos below show each step in the process of making this happen.
I am happy to report that the follow up day on July 5th went very well. People brought back their dogs (and one cat) for medical check ups and to take the stitches out. All animals were healthy and happy. Photos from that day will be in the next report.
The feedback from the community has been very positive. People who did not bring their animals are regretting that they missed out. This is often the case when implementing an activity for the first time at a community. Now that we have gotten the ball rolling with this first project, Vusumnotfo hopes to be able to carry out one community Spay Day each year. Swaziland Animal Welfare Society is currently planning to carry out a second community spay day in another part of Swaziland soonest. Details of that will follow.
