THE GREAT ADVENTURE!

Dr. Phil and Kathy wanted to acknowledge our great staff in a special way this year. We wanted this gift to them to be fun and meaningful. We determined early in 2010 that we would take the staff on a work and fun trip to the Dominican Republic to assist a hard working Humane Society there. We collected many supplies and medications, leashes and collars from our veterinary distributors and clients to take with us.

Our adventure began with the 10 of us in mid September and we hit the ground running with a tour of the Humane Society and the local fire station where we would be doing our work. We joined a group of about 10-15 wonderful volunteer workers from the Sosoua Animal Humane Society in performing 63 dog and cat spays and neuters in our two days of work. It was one of those challenging, very different, but so rewarding experiences. Some of the animals we did surgery on were homeless, but most were owned by local individuals. It was interesting to see how we could still relate to them even though they spoke only Spanish. We were touched to see how they love their pets as much as we do, and they were so appreciative of our efforts. Pet overpopulation is a large problem on the island. Be sure to look at our pictures in the lobby or by clicking here.

What a joy to serve the larger community of animal lovers. What a pleasure to work with people who are also friends and have a chance to bond in a work/fun trip. What a pleasure to be able to share our lives and adventures with our clients. Who knows what will be next?!?!?
