We thought we had 65 and 84 showed up plus 5 tumor dogs!. It was a long day..all the way to 7 p.m. But, the volunteers stood strong and the vets stood even stronger!. Thank goodness for all the help. We terminated several pregnancies and fixed several female dogs and cats who were ready to get pregnant. It was an amazing day. Thanks to Habla Ya for the new volunteers, thanks to the 4 vet students from Canada, thanks to Boquete for the "old" and "new" volunteers and thanks to the animal collectors for the animals! We paid out much more than we took in and that is why we fundraise. We always pay the vets $10 per dog and $5 per cat even if we do not get paid anything which seems to be often. But that is why we are here. We want to reach the Panamanian community and we are...thanks to all of you!
Our next clinic is August 28, 2011. Call Jessica at 6563-8686 or email boqueteanimales@gmail.com for an appointment. Some of you left our clinic in July because the lines were long and seemingly the vets were slow. It is true. A way of life for us. We schedule you but you do not come as we schedule you...some are early, some are late, some are very late, some are very early.......BUT, we accommodate all of you for $10 per dog and $5 per cat even though it costs us twice that amount. I ask for your patience and your understanding. If you do not want to come to our LOW COST clinics, please schedule with your personal vet to get your animals sterilized. Every day, hundreds, perhaps thousands of animals suffer from non-sterilization. They get tumors, they get pregnant, they get run over by cars, they starve, they die from parasites, they get killed in fights. Please, Please, sterilize your animals.
And now for the coming events: Wellness clinics in Caldera and Potrerillos, Saturday, August 6, 2011 Free vaccinations to prevent distemper, parvo and other debilitating diseases. Donations for vaccines can be made to our Global Bank account. Contact Judy Sacco for details at jwsacco@yahoo.com or me at valjala2@gmail.com Vaccines cost $3 each and there has been a recent outbreak in Caldera of distemper a KILLING, HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS disease. We hope to vaccinate 200-300 in Caldera and 200 in Potrerillos. Hopefully the disease does not reach Boquete town...Renew your vaccine for dogs NOW!
