On
April 15, 2012, HSTJ joined forces with the Western University School
of Medicine to sponsor a spay & neuter clinic in Playas de Tijuana.
A
group of 20 volunteers from the Student Chapter Association of Shelter
Veterinarians traveled down from Pomona, bringing with them donations
and medical expertise. Several school professors, who were licensed
veterinarians performed surgeries, and the wonderful students, who were
eager to help HSTJ's mission to decrease animal over population in
Tijuana, assisted in pre and post-op.
A
special thank you goes out to Elaine Jordan for organizing this
partnership. Our furry friends, who most have never been seen by a vet
or vet tech in their lives, were in great hands with this team, getting
fixed, nails trimmed, ears cleaned, given flea treatment and of course
lots of love and kisses! A total of 48 animals were fixed this day, 12
cats and 36 dogs!
It
truly was a pleasure to have such a wonderful team of individuals
looking to make a difference for the street animals of TJ and knowing
that these very individuals are our future veterinarians!
