If you look at the website of Asociaci?n De Amigos Por Los Animales De Sos?a, Inc. you will see the fantastic work that is done to help the animals all over the North coast of the DR. Literally hundreds of puppies, kittens, older dogs and cats have been taken in by Judy, the president of this charitable organisation and kept, sometimes for many months or even over a year, until some caring person comes to claim them for adoption. The association is able to offer a fantastic spay/ neuter programme, has secured many drugs for the treatment of the animals (including rabies shots) and all that is requested is a small donation when the dog/ cat is adopted by a family.
As ever there are abusers and I heard of one such person from Judy this week. I won't post his telephone number on this main board but I understand his name is 'Ken' and if he, or his friends/ acquaintances/ colleagues read this post I am sure they will know who it is. I understand Ken's daughter found a box which contained a number of, presumably abandoned, young puppies. Despite, being advised if he could not keep them a while, he should attempt to find someone who may help them whilst they would receive the necessary anti parasite meds and be eligible for the aaasosua spay/ neuter programme. he said he would prefer to have the puppies destroyed! He was also asked to submit photos so the process towards adoption could begin. Within an hour, the puppies were dumped by 'Ken' at Judy's Pet Lodge with the comment "we all know that you will get money for them".
When called by telephone, he denied his name - I wonder how he explained all this scenario to his daughter who found the pups?
The Friends of the Animals have and do go out of their way to assist every animal but they are not a profit making organisation so please, everyone, try to be reasonable.
