The clinic in San Blas “in memory of Ginny Rose” sponsored by Drs.
Elaine and Rob Klemmensen from the West Kootenay Animal Hospital in
Trail, B. C. (http://www.wkanimalhospital.com) spayed/neutered
animals. Thanks to Rob and Heather Erickson volunteered at this clinic
and wrote:
“Heather and I helped out with the San Blas Spay Neuter Clinic today. A total
of 88 animals have had surgery in the past 3 days, and with a half day wrap-up
tomorrow, the clinic will see roughly 100-110 animals.
Twenty Eight animals were seen today. The clinic is being held behind the DIF,
or government building, with shelters for each of surgery, post-op, and checkout. The regular three vets from PEACE, Anthony, Jimena and Poli keep one
prep table and two OR tables at a steady pace.
We noticed how few ticks and fleas are on these local animals. Apparently,
there were three cases of TVT yesterday, and one hernia case today, though
fewer abnormal cases than La Penita. One dog was euthanized due to serious
wounds from a machete.
This is a good steady clinic, and the locals were quite happy to have the extra
help today. They offered over-night accommodation should we wish to stay,
though we have other commitments tomorrow.”

Cancer for Mama
JBAR supporters and our dogs (two for adoption) supported the walk
for “Cancer for Mama” Charity! Thank you to all who came to help raise
money. A total of $10,000 was raised to purchase prothesis and/or a
mammogram machine for Jaltemba Bay Area.

From our email:
“My husband & I have made La Penita our winter home since 2001. I
honestly wasn't sure if I would be able to spend our retirement here. It was
just so sad to step over the dog & cats that seemed to be every few feet
along the streets. These animals were usually starving & often ill with
everything from parasites to mange. Since Jbar has started the clinics the difference has been unbelievable. People who come to visit us here usually comment immediately as to where
have all the dogs gone. We are pleased to be able to talk about the wonderful organizers &
volunteers at JBAR. I encourage folks in the area to get involved in this
wonderful project in one way or another.
Thank you from the us and mostly from our four legged friends. Well Done!! Karen & Doug Martin

“Just wanted to thank you all for the help in getting my little rescued puppy
a new home and to give you an update. "Tia" is doing wonderfully well with
her new family - our friends holidaying in Sayulita fell in love with her and
they're taking her back to Canada with them (same town as us). Their young
son renamed her "Gypsy" and they've been inseparable ever since and sleep
together each night. Thanks again,” Carla :)

MexPup
Our all volunteer group comprises citizens of Mexico, the United States and
Canada, who all collaborate in a process that takes a homeless dog from the streets
of Mexico, to a foster home in Puerto Vallarta for recovery and spay/neuter, to a
Guardian Angel volunteer who transports the MexPup from Puerto Vallarta’s airport
to an airport in Canada or the US, to a MexPup a foster home, and finally to the nolonger-homeless MexPup’s new forever family.
http://www.mexpup.com Please let us know if you are willing to be a Guardian
Angel to accompany a pup back to Canada.
