Zeus

Animal Advocates' work on BC reserves continues. We pay for spays and neuters (to prevent pet over-population which leads to abandonment), surgery for injuries, medications for parasites and infections, food to help a caring family keep their pet, and anything else that allows us to relieve the suffering of pets which is still endemic on BC's reserves. We work with colleagues who do all the hard hands-on work while AAS works hard to raise the money to pay for everything.

In the words of our hands-on colleague on a BC reserve: "I'm really happy to be getting the male dogs neutered as well as the females spayed, because too often people put them outside so they don't mark in the house, and they don't survive long."

Nor do owners need to spay or neuter their dogs and cats to help them survive and live long lives, when there are always more puppies and kittens to pick from. That is why programs to spay and neuter on reserves are so desperately needed.

In the words of our hands-on colleague on a BC reserve: "I'm really happy to be getting the male dogs done because too often people put them outside so they don't mark in the house, and they don't survive long."

Nor do they need to when they are not spayed or neutered and there are always more kittens to pick from. That is why programs to spay and neuter on reserves are so desperately needed.

"Zeus is a young male dog belonging to a family with three children. Last year the family lost everything in a house fire. They are now in their new home and they got their children a dog. The kids adore Zeus, as much as he adores them. I was near their house a few weeks ago and thought I'd drop in to meet the dog. All three kids were out in the yard playing with Zeus."

In the last two months, Animal Advocates has paid $1742.00 in veterinary bills for cats and dogs on this one reserve.
