Street Dog Love is proud to be partnering with Ester y Liza to hold monthly sterilization (spay/neuter) clinics in Sisal, Yucatan, Mexico (population approximately 1,800). Sisal is a small, isolated Mexican community with limited resources that is located about 45 miles northwest of Merida. A wide array of fragile wildlife inhabits the beaches, mangroves and coastal water of Sisal, including flamingos, herons, egrets and many other migratory birds. Sea turtles of various species lay eggs along the coast. Unfortunately, the street dog and cat population in Sisal is believed to now exceed the human population. Thus, the goal of our project in Sisal is to reduce the homeless dog and cat population (thereby improving their quality of life), which will also serve to protect wildlife from being preyed upon for food by the dogs and cats. We expect to sterilize more than 1,000 dogs and cats in Sisal in 2024 and hope to make it an annual project. We also plan to expand this project to other small communities near Sisal (such as Celestun) that are part of the same biosphere reserve region. Your support is vital to our continued ability to fund these clinics! Please consider donating $35 — which is the cost of one sterilization surgery.
