Update: Duo Duo Project's Spay/Neuter Initiative

Young vets at our Spay/Neuter Training Center

Every sterilized animal represents countless lives saved, not only from homelessness and starvation, but from meat trade traffickers who prey on vulnerable stray animals.

So far, Duo Duo Project has hosted 12 spay/neuter events. Many more are being planned for the remainder of 2026 and beyond.

Our goals include:

Training more local veterinarians in the most modern, least invasive techniques
Expanding the number and frequency of spay/neuter events
Providing year-round low-cost or no-cost spay/neuter services
Ensuring communities have long-term tools to manage stray populations

This initiative is about prevention, ending suffering before it begins.

Thanks to your generosity, our Spay/Neuter Training Center is complete. Our new operating room is hosting spay/neuter events, and we’ve begun hands-on training sessions for young Chinese veterinarians, teaching advanced techniques not widely available in China that reduce pain, recovery time, and complications.

The energy has been extraordinary. These veterinarians are eager to bring compassionate animal care back to their communities, multiplying the Center’s impact far beyond its walls.

We are deeply grateful to our Taiwanese veterinary partners, Dr. Lin and Dr. Chen, whose three decades of experience are helping shape the future of animal welfare in China.

Beyond surgeries, the Training Center has become a hub for community empowerment. This year, our team led trainings in basic animal care, grooming, and humane trap-neuter-release methods, while also providing a gathering space for young activists to plan outreach efforts.

Momentum is growing! A local Buddhist temple invited our team to help manage stray animals on its grounds. Following a spay/neuter event, the temple became a vaccination and trap-neuter-release partner, setting an example we hope other temples will follow.

The hope we see in these young activists gives us profound optimism for the future.
