Free neuter/spay, vaccination and microchipping campaigns
Howl Of A Dog organization has started a basic animal welfare education program, offering free neutering/spaying, microchipping and vaccinations for dogs whose owners cannot afford the costs of these procedures.
Life in some rural regions from Romania is hard both for people and for their animals, and information about animal welfare and animal rights hardly ever reaches remote villages. Unplanned or unwanted litters often end up abandoned on the streets, increasing the number already huge of homeless dogs.
In this action, we neutered/spayed a number of 37 dogs and we provided free vaccinations against most common dog diseases – like parvovirus and distemper – free microchipping and free health books.
Dogs with health issues were also offered medical care and treatment.
We also distributed information leaflets containing specific details about the importance of neutering/spaying, vaccinating and microchipping the dogs.
People acknowledged that abandoning unwanted puppies and dogs is wrong and inhumane and they accepted to be helped, understanding that neutering saves thousands of innocent lives through prevention.
These simple villagers are an example and inspiration to their community, demonstrating that animal cruelty and abandonment should never be an option, no matter who you are or where you live. Help is always available if you dare to care.
Neutering/spaying your dog is not only an act of responsibility in a world where pet-overpopulation is a serious problem, but also a proof of love for your dog, taking into account the many health benefits it has.
This campaign was organized by Howl Of A Dog and all the expenses were covered exclusively by Howl Of A Dog.
We would like to thank the wonderful, dedicated team of veterinarians from Vetlink Resita Clinic who treated the dogs and performed all the neutering/spaying surgeries.
Also, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to all Howl Of A Dog supporters and donors. We simply couldn’t do this life saving work without wonderful people like you behind us.
