Dear Friends of Peanut Pet Shelter
The last few months at PPS have brought the usual share of highs and lows.
The good news…our long-awaited Cat Haven is now ready and occupied! The hold-ups along the way have been long and arduous, but we are happy to report that the members of our ever-growing cat community are now enjoying their new accommodation.
Our also long-awaited clinic is finally under construction too. For now it is just the ‘bare bones’ as that is all current finances will permit, but we badly needed to have a safe, secure, building in place asap with hurricane season fast approaching…ensuring the animals are safe in such a situation is top priority!
So far this year has proved great for adult dog adoptions, but we still have so many more awaiting their very own loving forever homes. Our numbers have increased to an all time high and sadly we are in the position once again of having to turn animals away.
For us this is a heartbreaking decision to have to make….. after all, PPS exists to save and help those animals in need but rising costs could mean that in the future we will be taking on less animals rather than more.
Voting is now taking place again for The Animal Rescue Site Shelter Challenge until August 22nd. Click here to cast your vote. Please encourage as many people as possible to vote for us as any amount that we can win will be of great benefit to the animals.
MARVET Visits Peanut Pet Shelter & Clinic
Last week we were joined by 20 plus vet students from MARVET www.marvet.org
MARVET vets and students assisted with spay and neutering operations of the shelter animals and the pets of locals from the Playa del Carmen area.
All Peanut shelter animals were given full medical examinations and administered medications and vaccinations.
It was a very positive learning experience for the vet students and for the staff of Peanut Pet Shelter/Clinic.
Click here to see more.
With the continued success of the Peanut Pet Shelter Clinic more opportunities for vet students to travel and learn will be made available.
If you are associated with a vet school contact us today info@peanutpetshelter.org for more information of our Peanut Clinic/Learning Center program.
Travel , Learn, Make a Difference.
