Dear Randy
I'm sorry to say that this
Friday and Saturday, March 7th and 8th "Federal Animal
Control " officers will be
rounding up all the strays they can on the streets of town and
bringing them to the Delegacion (next to the Fire
Department). Unfortunately, the dogs they commandeer will
be all the sweet, friendly, social dogs that are not only easy
to catch, but often are already spayed or neutered and are
possibly someone's pet. In the past, these dogs would be
senselessly euthanized, but after talking to San Felipe's very
cooperative Delegado (mayor), Hazael Sierra Castillo
this morning, he gave me his word that these dogs would not be
put down, but instead, would become the responsibility of San
Felipe Animal Rescue. It is then up to us to decide what to do
with them. I assure you, they will not be put down by us, that
is not something we would ever do. We need foster care and
good adoptive homes, so please step up if you can, and be part
of the solution.
Forewarned is
forearmed, so make sure your own dogs are off the streets
this weekend, and please make sure your Mexican
neighors are aware of the "round up" too,
otherwise it could cost you a substantial amount of
money to get your own pets back.
By the way, all dogs will
receive a rabbie vaccination (compliments
of Mexicali) while they are incarcerated. At
this very moment, SFAR is putting together a strategy that
will accomodate all these strays. After we spay and
neuter all of them, we will formulate a plan to either find
them foster homes, get them adopted or relocate them.
Please let us know how you can help! Dog Food would be greatly
appreciated and can be dropped at the SFAR Thrift
Store. Please forward
this email to others in San Felipe that are effected.
