In the first half of 2014 AAASosua spayed or neutered NEARLY 480 needy animals and provided consultations on many others for those with insufficient means.

In 2013 AAASosua spayed and neutered nearly 1200 animals.

Early this year two vets, Dr Tim Bonin and Dr Anne-Katrin List, came from Germany in February 2014 to support the efforts of AAASosua in the Charamicos operative which aimed to humanely control the dog and cat population in and around Sosua, Dominican Republic by spaying or neutering them. They had sponsorship from Tierklinik am Stadtwald Frankfurt , Tierklinik Egelsbach , Dagmar Stech and Isabel Gorski of Creole Dogs. Verein zur Hilfe und F?rderung des kreolischen Hundes e.V.

Without the support of a number of airline carriers much of this would not be possible both for assisting with humanitarian aid packages and the group travel arrangements.

And of course the Kathryn Neal Animal Relief Fund which made all this possible. Kathryn Neal

AAA Sosua has over 15 years working with the Dominican animals and is trusted by the local community when it comes to helping them with their pets. AAA Sosua strives with all resources available to continue to offer the safest, most humane protocols and handling before, during and after surgery. It continues to solicit the most experienced volunteer veterinarians, and the program is monitored by licensed animal healthcare professionals who have years of experience here with Dominican animals and their families.
We are not about the numbers but it is important for you to know how we are doing and we feel that each dog/cat deserves the best no matter what.
With your continued support we can continue with our programs and would like to assist other groups that have shown up here recently. Not all are the same and we are willing to assist those that share our philosophy for a kind gentle surgery.
AAASosua consider the spaying of female animals is most important because of the greater impact on the animal population, and is concentrating on Sosua, El Batey, Sosua Abajo and Charamicos at present.
AAAS is a charitable organisation an exists solely on donations and sponsorship, if you wish to make a donation you may do so on the day of the clinic or by going to Spay/Neuter for dogs and cats | Dog Adoptions | Trap neuter release programs | Emergency medical treatment in Sosua, Charamicos, and Sosua Abajo in the Dominican Republic and clicking on the donate button on the home page.
