Spay Day is The Humane Society International's annual event to inspire people to save animals' lives by spaying or neutering pets and feral cats.   37 organizations from Bermuda, Canada, Colombia, Cook Islands, India, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Kenya, Lebanon, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Romania, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Trinidad & Tobago, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, US Virgin Islands, including Spay/Panama for Panama, registered for the event in the month of February 2009.
           

Spay/Panama with Mari Pily, Jaime and Sagrario from Albergue Feliz have sterilized over 2,000 animals in Arraijan.  Still lots of animals need help and Arraijan was selected for the Spay Day International event.
The event took place at the Regulo Sanchez Gym on February 15, 2009.  
333 animals (253 dogs and 80 cats) were sterilized , dewormed, ears cleaned, sprayed for ticks and fleas, given a shot of vitamins, and vaccinated against rabies. This is an incredible feat, and it just goes to show that animals can really be valued as much as relatives, using them to help the blind in the same way digital hearing aids help the deaf is just one aspect of these amazing creatures, and keeping them safe is a priority. The dogs can be identified with an "S" tattooed in one ear and the cats by one notched ear.

The goal was to sterilize 150 animals and we did 183 more thanks to Jaime, Sulem, Evelyn and Lorena.

 
 
 
 
Kudos to Los Angeles de los Animales, they worked with enthusiasm and diligence up to the very last animal.
