February month was phenomenal as we built upon the successes in January. In addition to performing several life-saving surgeries to animals rescued during this month, we have been able to conduct an Anti-Rabies Vaccination (ARV) drive, create awareness about prevention of the deadly disease of Rabies and conduct several spay/neuter surgeries during the World Spay Day.
Your recurring donations as well as a few new donations that we received have been a great support during this month. The life-saving surgery for little Pop-eye made a significant difference to his life, as the surgery on his eye could be done successfully and the icing on the cake being that of him getting adopted to a loving family soon after. We did couple of other life-saving surgeries, saving a female dog suffering from pyometra and also another rescue dog from mammary tumor.
The vaccination drive was a huge success as it was combined with community education and awareness. Our team of veterianarians and staff conducted vaccination on 18 street dogs in a community and also educated the pubic about prevention of Rabies. The effort was well received as we received several requests from other areas to conduct similar drives.
Celebration of World Spay Day was also done in a systematic manner by scheduling spay/neuter surgeries for community dogs and also educating public about the perils of pet overpopulation and the only scientific method of controlling it being responsible spay/neuter surgery of pet and community dogs at appropriate age. We were able to spay and neuter 12 dogs as part of this campaign on World Spay Day and your kind donations have helped us achieve these significant milestones.
We are deeply indebted to all our donors for helping us move forward in our mission to make this world a little bit better for the companion animals of Coimbatore.
