When the team was near our spay location, they were welcomed by one of the previously spayed dogs, proudly displaying her ear tag, the sign of a job well done and in which we take great pride. She lives around a gas station, and is a well-known landmark in the community.
🙂
Everyone knows and likes her, and she is our ambassador for the spay project, everyone commenting how good it is that she’s no longer making more puppies.
We are truly grateful to have been able to return to Cornu de Jos and see such impressive results in the actual lives of the animals and the community, results which were only possible because you cared and supported us so we could make a difference! Thank you, #teamSUST!
Location: Ciolpani und Lipia, Ilfov county
Period: 14-15/11 and 16-17/11/2022
Total number of spays: 132 animals (Ciolpani) and 154 animals (Lipia), total of 286 animals
Local contact: CMVI Lilian Banu and repectively Mrs. Dana Mares, Asociatia Armonie cu Natura
Despite Mrs. Mares’ considerable efforts in organizing the campaign so every patient can make it safely to us in terms of transport and surgical appointment times, we still had a patient delivered with a horse and carriage, and cats in cardboard crates, as you can see.
This is why the transport crates are so important, to ensure the safety of our patients throughout the spaying process, avoiding escaping animals that are exposed to huge risks due to being brought to unfamiliar locations with road traffic. The animals were promptly taken in by our team to be transferred to safer cages.
Location: Mănești, Prahova county
Period: 10-11.11.2022
Total number of spays: 198
Local contact: lulia Zamfirescu, Asociatia Arca lui Norocel
As pointed out in previous campaign reports, we had to rally together with Arca lui Norocel to have sufficient crates and transporters at the ready because many people don’t bring their animals in safely due to the lack of an appropriate pet carrier, some bringing them in bags or sacks or even cardboard boxes. We unfortunately need to replenish our stock as soon as we can, as we cannot run the risk of escaping animals that can get lost or run over by cars.
Overall, this was an extremely successful campaign where we were able to help 163 females, which is a huge benefit to the community, and - unlike many of the more “urban” campaigns, we focused on dogs, helping 101 of them in total. All of this would not have been possible without your kind support, and while we are fully aware of how difficult and arduous the fundraising effort is to help make these events happen, we can only hope and pray that we are able to continue this work moving forward, for as many animals as we possibly can. We are tremendously grateful and proud to be #teamsust!
