Going to Cancun again to help dogs in October!

I am a volunteer with a great organization, CANDi-Cats and Dogs International, that works with the tourism industry to provide humane treatment for stray animals in resort destinations.

CANDi, working with Isla Animals and volunteers from Canada and the U.S., will support Spay Mexico, Planned Pethood, and Planned Pethood Mexico volunteer veterinarians in training over 48 local Mexican vets on how to do low cost, safe, high-volume sterilization procedures during a spay/neuter clinic in the resort town of Cancun, Mexico. During the first 4 days of the clinic, 125 dogs and cats each day will be spayed or neutered but on the last day, over 300 animals will undergo sterilization surgery, a major achievement that will save countless puppies and kittens from being born into lives of suffering.

Renowned international veterinarians from Spay Mexico and Planned Pethood, Dr. Jeffrey Young and Dr. W. Marvin Mackie, will be heading up the surgical team. Dr. Young has personally sterilized over 165,000 stray dogs and cats and specializes in high-volume clinics all over the world. Dr. Mackie is known for his mobile clinic expertise and "QuickSpay" techniques. "It is an honor to have all these groups working together to help the animals of Cancun," says Darci Galati, founder of CANDi. "Along with Isla Animals and our other Humane Partners, this is our 6th spay/neuter clinic in Cancun but the first "Mega Training," a sterilization campaign that includes a week-long spay/neuter clinic and training for local vets on safer and improved sterilization procedures."

CANDi, with the help of Isla Animals and other Humane Partners (local animal rescue groups), has sterilized thousands of animals in Cancun and the Yucatan over the years. CANDi believes the answer to reduce animal overpopulation is sterilization and empowering local veterinarians with specialized training techniques so they can help their own communities by providing sustainable and humane animal control through spaying and neutering.
