German Shepherd in Guatemala City

Calicat in Guatemala.

This is little Calicat sleeping in my muddy shoe. Calicat and her sibling were brought to us when they were about 24 hours old. We bottle fed them and gave them all the care we could but still Calicat's sibling did not make it.
But Calicat is like a miniature kitten. She is now probably 2 months old but is so tiny. She is such a sweet kitten....we are looking for a home for her but it has to be a special home where she will be loved and looked after.

She is the 9th little kitten that was brought to us in a very short period of time. We are really encouraging people to spay and neuter their cats at our monthly clinic so that little kittens like Cali do not die a horrible, slow death being left in a trash can.

April Clinic in Guatemala.

We held another successful monthly spay and neuter clinic in Panajachel last Saturday.
24 dogs and 1 cat were operated on.
One dog was turned away because it was too underweight. We sent it home with food and hope that it will be heavier by next month.
Dogs came from as far away as San Andres and El Barranco.
Thank you everyone who has donated to help make these clinics such a success.
With these 25 animals spayed and neutered there will be a lot less unwanted puppies and kittens.

Our next clinic will be held the last Saturday of May.

Two little puppies!

These two little cuties were abandoned outside one rainy night. We found out that all the other puppies in the litter died. They are looking for a good loving home. They will be spayed /neutered and vaccinated ......anyone looking for a loving friend ???

When the family is Malnourished, so is their dog!

Wwe are asking for your help to get this dog into our Hope for the Animals Program, sponsorship costs just $25 and we will get it fed, spayed or neutered and all of it's shots brought up to date. Please pass this onto anyone you know on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Ning or Linked-In.
Thanks!

Another dog being helped!

We got a phone call that there was a dog that had collapsed on the street and couldn't get up. We always respond to these calls and try to relieve as much suffering as possible.
The person who called thought the dog had collapsed because she was so weak from hunger and illness. But we discovered that the dog had two very badly burned front paws that were very infected.
This poor dog must have gone through so much pain.
We took him to the vet. clinic and Andrea treated him with antibiotics, pain killers and a drip.
It will be a while before we can put this dog back on the street.
We are very grateful for donations that help us to be able to treat badly wounded dogs like this.
Unfortunately, we do not have enough donations and we always need more help.
If you would like to help, please consider donating through our web page, www.mayanfamilies.org Any amount, no matter how small will help.
