Ukraine: more than 40 animals sterilized

Just one month after starting the new project in Ukraine, we have succeeding in sterilizing 44 animals (including dogs and cats) in Odessa, and we have over 70 appointments scheduled for the coming weeks.

44 animals have been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped

All of the animals have been sterilized, vaccinated against rabies and microchipped so that they can be more easily identified in the future. The volunteers we have been working with over the past year have been in charge of selecting dogs and cats from the streets and taking them to our partner clinics, where they are operated on and looked after at the inpatient center for a day.

Once they have fully recovered, our volunteers then take them back to where they collected them from, and continue to feed and monitor the animals to ensure they don’t develop any complications or infections after surgery.

Save the Dogs is covering all the costs of these procedures and continues to send food for the thousands of animals still struggling to survive on the streets.

Three shelters in Odessa are ready to begin sterilizing their animals

We will also begin a new partnership with a second clinic over the coming weeks that will enable us to further increase the number of sterilizations performed in Odessa, and three other shelters in this area are already getting ready to join the operation as well.

We are carefully evaluating the possibility of extending the project to other new partners and volunteers, but as always everything will depend on the funds we are able to raise in the future.
