Street Dog Hero’s clinic in Kanasìn, Mexico spays nearly 900 dogs and cats, a new record for Bend-based group
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- A recent spay/neuter clinic organized by Street Dog Hero in Kanasìn, Mexico, in partnership with Beach Dog Rescue and Ester y Liza, resulted in the spaying/neutering of 895 dogs and cats, a new record for the Bend-based organization.
How many animals does that mean were prevented from being born on the streets in Kanasìn, Mexico? By spaying and neutering one male and one female, more than 67,000 births can be prevented in just six years (according to a study by the North Shore Animal League of America).
Multiply that by 895 animals and that means almost 67 million births were prevented by SDH’s spay/neuter clinic in Kanasìn. This means that these 67 million animals won't have to suffer from sickness, starvation, or be at risk of getting hit by cars, nor will they have to worry about finding a place to sleep or their next meal.
Street Dog Hero was able to achieve its most successful spay/neuter clinic to date due to the generosity and support of its followers and donors. Every spay/neuter surgery costs $23, but the surgeries were provided for free or at a low cost for the community.
