July 2021
From July 2 to 9, 2021, the volunteers of Animal Balance: Dr. C and JG led a sterilization campaign that offered 107 high-quality surgeries for dogs and cats on the island. Dr. C and JG have been part of several MASH campaigns with Animal Balance, their love for animals and for their profession as well as their commitment to the world community led them to make the decision to come to Galapagos and lead this campaign. Together with local ABG veterinary doctors and technicians, they formed a powerful working group that was able to fix 46 dogs and 61 cats.
Each of these interventions means a new cycle of training and strengthening the knowledge of the ABG team who, in addition, are always keen to learn. Thanks to the support of our donors we can also provide the necessary medical supplies for the execution of the surgeries as well as other expenses related to these activities.
It is vitally important that continuous sterilization campaigns continue until the end of this year. This urgency responds to the effects generated by the closure of activities by the pandemic and which are shown in a clear increase in the population of dogs and cats as well as hundreds of requests for sterilization in the waiting list.
We continue to work, recruit volunteers and organize new interventions for the coming months.
