"The Puerto Rico Neutersol training trip was a huge success. Dr. Gwen Davis, veterinarian with the Puerto Rico Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), did an excellent job organizing two training sessions, the first at the Carolina Animal Control Center in San Juan and the second at The Pet Vet in Isabela. Both sessions were taught by Saving Animals Across Borders' Dr. Gil Costas, and were very well attended by local private veterinarians, animal shelter veterinarians, and representatives from animal protection organizations on the island. For the demonstration in Carolina, adoption animals from the shelter were sterilized with Neutersol. These animals were micro-chipped and the shelter is going to follow their progress post-adoption. Animal guardians from the area were invited to bring their dogs for the demonstration at Isabela, in addition to the approximately 15 Satos who were sterilized and returned to their community. The Satos were identified with a permanent ear tattoo. Dr. Davis was also able to transport 5 dogs from an animal collector in Aguadilla for sterilization. |
