Spay/Panama like any non-profit organization, depends on volunteers and funding from supporters. We could not function and stay open without them.
On Sunday, July 17, 2011, 141 animals (121 dogs and 20 cats) were sterilized, dewormed, had their ears cleaned, injected with vitamins, sprayed against fleas and ticks and the dogs got the rabies vaccine. Over 3,000 animals have been sterilized in Arraijan over the years.
This campaign will avoid more than 10 million animals being born in the next six years.
Equipment and surgical supplies were taken on Saturday afternoon. Gustavo and Araceli drove their pick-ups to help.
Guardians/rescuers/feeders provide Sol and Araceli their name, address and phone number to be registered. The animals' description and weight completes the registration.
