Thanks to a recently held mega spay\/neuter clinic, 98 dogs have been sterilized on the island of Barbuda. This will significantly reduce the problem of unwanted puppies.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For the past few days, in collaboration with the Antigua & Barbuda Humane Society and the Barbuda Council\u2019s Kendra Beazer, a U.S. organisation<\/g> known as Animal Balance has been conducting a spay & neuter clinic for dogs in Barbuda.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 98 dogs have also been microchipped and licensed in accordance with the Dogs Registration & Control Act. <\/em>This is a great step forward in dog population control on the island and all participants are to be commended.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Antigua & Barbuda Humane Society being responsible for the registration process under the Act, sent Humane Society Field Officer Carol-Faye George to Barbuda on day one of the clinic in order to handle the initial registrations and to instruct Animal Balance volunteers with respect to the required licensing procedures. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In consideration of the many hardships caused by Hurricane Irma, the Government of Antigua & Barbuda has waived the initial licence fee for Barbudan dog owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Antigua, both the Humane Society and Antigua Spay Neuter Clinic hold regular low-cost spay\/neuter clinics and the Humane Society holds Mega Clinics sponsored by the Caribbean Spay Neuter organisation<\/g> but this is the first time the opportunity has been offered in Barbuda.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Humane Society is grateful to the Animal Balance organisation<\/g> and their volunteers for their work and to the Government of Antigua & Barbuda for the various permissions and waivers that made the clinic possible.<\/p>\n
