Spay the Strays/Spay Panama Blitz

This past weekend, Spay Panama joined forces with the Spay the Strays Group to hold a “blitz” at Las Lajas to spay and neuter street animals, rescues, and the pets of low income Panamanians. Spay Panama arrived on Saturday evening and worked until late night operating on 129 walk-ins on a first come, first serve basis.After just a few hours of sleep, they started again on Sunday with the help of our intrepid Spay the Strays volunteers.Together, we sterilized another 201 for a total of 330 animals! As usual, conditions were rugged (hot, dirty, crowded) but everyone teamed up and finished by late afternoon with no waiting list for our first time in years! Our Spay the Strays Group gives heartfelt thanks to both our dedicated volunteers and to the tireless team of Spay Panama. Not only did personnel from Spay Panama conduct the operations, but they also made a special trip to Las Lajas on Friday to teach school children the care and responsibility of owning a pet. They made it fun by allowing the children to bring their pets, by holding an art contest and by serving cake afterward. Spay the Strays together with Spay Panama does make a difference! If you would like to either volunteer for future events or donate money so that we can continue with our mission, please email spaythestrayspanama@yahoo.com or “like” our Facebook page Spay the Strays Panama. Check out the cool photos of both the blitz and the school children.
