Rescuing Stray Dogs: Dogs have A Second Chance!

Report | Dec 10, 2019 | Steven Malca
SAI-A&G combats the consequences of the economic crisis on pets in Venezuela. Our sanctuary not only rescues dogs abandoned on the streets but also implements a veterinary triage system to classify and treat injuries, followed by vaccination and free sterilization campaigns. From January to May, we have distributed 5,687 pounds of food, guaranteeing the safety and nutrition of 164 dogs in our network of partner shelters.

 

New arrival shelter dogs greeted with love

In Venezuela, many people who own dogs can't afford pet food because it's very expensive comparing to their salary. They have no other option besides abandoning their pets. This is where SAI-A&G sanctuary saves the day by rescuing the dogs abandoned on the streets.

Medical Care: Spaying & Neutering

When dogs come to the animal shelter they are examined by a veterinarian to determine the health of the dogs. Then, the vet places the dogs in one of these categories: healthy dogs, moderately injured dogs and severely injured dogs. The veterinarian provides the needed medical treatment that the dogs require.

After a health examination, dogs get vaccinated. Then, they receive a warm bath, followed by a healthy meal. Dogs who need to be spayed are scheduled for surgery one week after their arrival.

SAI Deliver Dog Food to Dog Refuges & Sanctuaries

We delivered over 5,687 lbs of dog food from January to May.
We provide support for 164 dogs at 9 different shelters. In the SAI-A&G sanctuary, we provide safety, shelter, food, medical services, and spaying to over 45 dogs.

Thank you for being part of the SAI family!
