Baark! keeps on spaying through COVID-19

By Laura Kimble | Baark! Chairman

Kemp Road

Despite COVID-19, Baark! has still been able to assist with spay and neuters through our hotline. Two of our volunteers were given special permission to be out on the road during the curfew, so both trucks stayed in use :). We are so grateful to those volunteers who were willing to cautiously be out and about in order to keep saving lives!

To date, we've done over 650 spay and neuters for 2020.

Both volunteers were and continue to be very busy. One of the two volunteers who have been given special permission to be out on the streets during the COVID-19 curfew has been focusing on streets between East Street and Market Street. Over the last few weeks, she has collected and returned 50+ dogs and cats - now all spayed and neutered. We have also been assisting with flea and tick treatment for dogs that have a lot of fleas or ticks. There are two reasons for this - it assists our participating vets as we don't want their clinics to get infested when the dog goes for surgery and it is also a good opportunity to educate the community on flea and tick prevention products available from the local vets.

We did have had to postpone our annual Potcakeman Triathlon. Our hopeful date is October 4th, 2020. We were also planning a MASH clinic at the end of April in Nassau, but this will be rescheduled as well, potentially in November 2020.

Now more than ever, we really need your support. Fewer people are able to afford the surgeries for their dogs and cats. Every dollar you can donate helps tremendously!

186 Spay and Neuters in Abaco!

By Laura Kimble | Baark! Chairman

Temporary Clinic in Marsh Harbour

After the urgent animal relief was completed post Hurricane Dorian at the end of October 2019, we realized that there were many dogs roaming in Marsh Harbour and we had a few reports of litters as early as late October.

We knew we had to act right away! The challenge was we could not conduct our traditional MASH clinics where large volunteer teams of 10+ people come in for a weekend and we spay or neuter 100-200 dogs and cats, as there was no where for volunteers to stay.

So we got creative! We were gifted 2 military tents from Global Medics so we took one to Marsh Harbour Abaco. A kind Abaconian allowed us to use her property to set up our temporary clinic site. We had a generator and a temporary water supply.

We did a series of 5 1-day clinics starting November 13th and ending December 13th. We had one main Baark! representative from Nassau stationed in Abaco, several really awesome volunteers who live in Abaco (some year round and some who are from other countries volunteering post Dorian and came to help on their days off !!) and then Dr. Solomon, his vet tech, and several other volunteers would fly up for the day. Dr. Solomon and one other volunteer (usually his tech) would typically overnight as we could find accomodations for 2-3 volunteers. Most days, Solomon operated up to 9pm at night!

We spayed and neutered a total of 186 dogs and cats, mostly from Mainland Abaco and a few from surrounding islands.

This work we hope helps to keep the population of Marsh Harbour down following Hurricane Dorian. We are so grateful for your continued support.

Next weekend a team is going to Nicholls Town Andros so stay tuned for an update!

on behalf of the dogs and cats in The Bahamas we thank you very very much, Laura
