TOGETHER
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Residents of Sorá, Altos de María
and neighboring areas got together to coordinate and sponsor a
sterilization blitz. 103 dogs and 9 cats were sterilized,
dewormed, vaccinated against rabies, ears cleaned, dusted with flea
& tick powder and given an injection of vitamins on Sunday, January
28, 2007.
Special
thanks to Empresas Melo for the ivermectin, vitamins and rabies
vaccines; Barbara Franzen for her donation and delicious fruit plate
and sandwiches; Ed McAleer for transporting the operating tables and
surgical lamps, letting us stay at his spectacular house and for the
great barbecue; Maria Esther from the association Porque Me Importan
for assisting in all phases; and a very special thanks to Dusty and
Mary Rhodes for sponsoring the bulk of the sterilizations and
transporting the boxes of medical supplies; Mary was the driving force
that made the blitz a reality. Many thanks to those that provided the
water and sodas and to all our caring "taxis".
What a great satisfaction we were able to improve the lives of 112 pets and their guardians.
