Snipsisters Puerto Escondido Chapter, aims to continue offering free spay/neuter clinics on a monthly basis-depending on the funds we raise! As always, 100% of donations go to the surgeries, our costs are 350 pesos per surgery and that covers the fee we pay to our trusted and respected Vet Dr. Ruben and our surgical supplies. We have no administration fees nor do we have employees. We are a small grassroots foundation run by wonderful caring Volunteers.

The Annual Fundraiser in Puerto Escondido in February 18, 2024 Was a very Successful and Fun Evening. Congratulations to Susan Allison, Karen Gerbasi & Jocelyn Palmer.

Snipsisters Main Chapter will be raffling off some fantastic Gift Baskets in Calgary, Canada throughout the year to raise funds for clinics in Cuatunalco and the many surrounding villages in need! These will be posted on Snipsisters FB Page and Instagram!

Clinics have already been underway since January!

January Total Snips: 227 & February Total Snips: 256, March Clinic to Start on the 25th!

VERY BIG BIG NEWS!!! PETA LATINO graciously donated funds for our team to treat several cases of TVT in the community of Chila. TVT is a highly infectious cancer, tumors are visible usually near the genitals but some dogs get infected on their face, chest or other areas. TVT can be very successfully treated with the drug Vincristine, which is given via IV, once per week to patients, the number of weekly treatments range from 2-4 depending on the progression. We are so grateful to PETA for this incredibly generous donation. Snipsisters is so grateful to Dr. Edgar who is administering the Vincristine. Our gratitude goes to Gaby Sanchez who brings the dogs to and from the location in Chila to receive the treatments.
