Four little puppies who were left in a box today

Four skinny, hungry , scared puppies were left in a box today.

We have taken them in and will get them vaccinated and spayed/neutered.......but we need homes of these poor little babies.

They are so thin and just need some love.

If you would like one of these puppies....please contact us.

We are happy to arrange shipping to the U.S , Canada or anywhere else they can find a home.

Almost rescued

Here are more examples of dogs that we tried to rescue. The German Shepherd was tied up it's whole life on this short chain and was going crazy. The owner was willing to get rid of the dog, but when we returned with a Woman who wanted them, the owner said, "No", that family living nearby were taking them. These are just more examples of why humane education in schools is so important!

Another day of abandoned dogs in Guatemala

Unfortunately, another day of dumped animals.  The little puppies were
abandoned, luckily they can lap a little so don't need bottle feeding,
four little sweeties, and then several kittens were also brought in.

Would anyone like to take home one of these adorable animals?

Spay and Neuter Clinic by Mayan Families in Guatemala

Last month we held a parade in town in Panajachel.. It was to promote
vaccinating your animal with Rabies vaccine and also to spay and
neuter to reduce the amount of unwanted animals suffering in the
streets.

The parade was a huge success.  We held a spay and neuter clinic the
next day and operated on lots of dogs and cats.

The Mayor of San Andres Semebetaj contacted us after the parade and he
asked if we would come and do the same thing in his town.

We were very happy to be able to do that.

On Tuesday we held a large parade with the help of the children from
the elementary school in San Andres and also the children from the
Mayan Families/Mission Guatemala Pre-school in San Andres.

On Wednesday we held the spay and neuter clinic and had 28 mostly dogs
...but a few cats....come along.

The clinic was held at the local community health center. The Mayor
and all the people involved were so helpful.
They have a very big problem with lots of dogs in the streets, we saw
several packs when we first arrived.

We are very happy to help with this problem and wish that we had the
funds to be able to do these clinics daily.

If you would like to help us stop the amount of unwanted animals in
the street and all the terrible suffering that they endure....please
help with a small donation.
It is $25 US for us to spay /neuter an animal.   This prevents so much
future suffering.

Little Louie

Louie, the one eyed kitty is the only one that survived of three kittens.

Louie is a an adorable kitten and our daughter, Aleeya loves him and is giving him lots of cuddles and love while he is waiting for his surgery.

Louie's bad eye is infected and we are giving him antibiotic drops 6 times a day.
We are hoping that he will be able to put on enough weight to have his operation. At the moment, Louie only weights 1lb 1oz...he needs to gain at least another 2lb to be able to survive the operation. The problem is that Louie is in danger of the infection causing meningitis in his brain.

We are keeping our fingers crossed that he will stay healthy until he is able to be operated.

Louis is part of our animal program.....please donate to help animals like Louie.
