ISLA HOLBOX
Spay/Neuter Project



For several years we have been visiting Isla Holbox, a remote island 150km NW of Cancun. It has been a goal to sponsor a Spay/ Neuter clinic on Holbox. While visiting over Christmas the clinic began to take shape.

On May 16, 17, and 18, 2008 my dream becomes a reality. A group of veterinarians and technicians will participate in a free Spay/Neuter clinic for the dogs and cats of Holbox and surrounding communities in Quintana Roo. Our goal is to help alleviate the overpopulation problem in a humane manner. The nearest veterinarian is 1½ hours away and will join us. Pet overpopulation has often been dealt with by poisoning unwanted animals.

Ed, Dad and I leave Monday night for Isla Holbox. Many loose ends to attend to before then. Tomorrow a trip to customs to make sure all paperwork is in order. Weekend will be filled with packing and consolidating equipment and supplies.
