PEPPER’S
STORY-A SUCCESSFUL STREET RESCUE DONE WITH YOUR HELP
In
January 2017, Señora Aida was returning from work when she saw a dog hunched in
fear on a busy street and seemingly resigned to being hit by a car. The dog was
weak, sick, filthy and bald with mange. She apparently didn’t even have a desire to move.
Senora Aida gathered her up and brought her home. She fed her, bathed her, let her rest and named her Pepper.
In August 2017, Pepper appears to be fully recovered,happy and ready for adoption. She is once again a beautiful and proud dog thanks to a dedicated rescuer and the support we were able to give with the help of FHSTJ donors.

Your Donations at Work
FHSTJ Certificate Program for Low Cost Spay/Neuter & Medical Treatment
With your continued support, FHSTJ
launched a new program to fill the gap left when HSTJ Mexico had to close the
fixed base Centro clinic. Friends of HSTJ developed a certificate program that
will serve the rescuers and those with limited resources who depended on the
Centro clinic. The president of FHSTJ has been working closely with five local
veterinarians located in strategic neighborhoods who will provide FHSTJ
sponsored low cost spay, neuter and treatments via a certificate program. The
goal is to serve the number of animals that were seen at the Centro clinic
before its closure. The program is designed to maintain a cost effective, high
quality care service for the animals. This new program is in addition to the
FHSTJ sponsored spay / neuter and parasite /mange control mobile clinics.
Alex Arias, FHSTJ
board member and Dr. Marco Antonio Tapia MVZ [DVM] proudly prepare for the June
2017 distribution of certificates to rescuers and owners of animals in need of
spay/neuter and medical treatment.
Certificates for spay
and neuter are distributed after a presentation on the need to spay and neuter.
Certificates
are issued to those most in need and who cannot travel to the centers for the
mass sterilization clinics. It is also designed for
animals that might need treatment before they are healthy enough for spay or
neuter.
People attending the
street events are receptive to advice about animal care and many take advantage
of the mass spay and neuter clinics that FHSTJ sponsors or, for those special
cases, the certificate program that provides veterinary care through DVMs who
participate in the FHSTJ certificate program.
