The Humane Society of Grand Bahama (HSGB) is partnering with the West Grand Bahama District Council, and The Kohn Foundation, to hold a spay/neuter field clinic in Eight Mile Rock March 18-22, 2014.
Over 25% of HSGB's annual intake of 1400+ animals come from West Grand Bahama; an area difficult for HSGB to serve on a daily basis due to budgetary constraints. Many West Grand Bahama residents are unable to afford or access veterinary care for their pets; as a result there are a large number of unwanted dogs and cats with more being born almost daily.
The clinic will be held in one of the local government buildings in Eight Mile Rock (across from the police station) and will be a M.A.S.H. type field clinic. We will be providing free spay/neuter as well as some wellness services, such as vaccines, deworming, and treating minor wounds and illnesses.
The clinic will be operated by HSGB staff, a number of community volunteers, and volunteer veterinary professionals both from within and without the Bahamas. It will also include a concentrated education and outreach program, with an emphasis on responsible pet ownership and kindness to animals.
