Cancun and area has an abundance of stray dogs and feral
cats. The climate is favorable for
living on the street and lots of animals do.
I’ve noticed there are many kind souls here who feed them and watch out
for them. But many don’t and too many
animals are in need of care. There’s a
government funded Pound here who does what they can with limited resources and
donations of food and medical supplies.
They have a fair every once in a while to try to find homes for the
animals in their care. The last one in
December saw 15 lucky dogs get homes – unfortunately out of over 100 in the
Pound. They offer services to spay and
neuter pets for those who can’t afford it.But still too many animals wander the streets
and procreate at an alarming rate.
and procreate at an alarming rate.
Along with caring about these animals what’s needed is
funding. To feed them, give them
medical attention and most of all for the spaying and neutering. Most
of my friends here in Cancun have adopted pets from the street. My husband and I now have 8 and are feeding
another 10 or so – number is a moving target – in the backyard where we have
built a feeding station. We’re happy when
we see the new little additions to the gang and cry when they die or get
killed.
So, as animal lovers,
it seemed logical to see what we could do to help all the others souls out
there. When you use We Deliver’s
services at check-out we give you the opportunity to donate $1usd or other
amount to this cause. Every penny will
go to the animals. It’s a small thing in
this big world of ours but every little bit helps. If you do chose to help we give you a big
thank you on behalf of our furry friends.
Here’s the link to a site I visit every day. Takes a minute to click all the links but
it’s a minute well spent. Each click
donates food and care to shelter animals.
You can also click the other links to help the rain forests, cancer
patients, autistic kids and more.
Help us get here! |
