Spay/Neuter clinics in Puerto Penasco a huge success !!!!!!!!!!!!

ANIMAL ADOPTION CENTER OF ROCKY POINT WAS A SPONSOR FOR THE "GIVE SOME LIFE" TRAINING CLASS ON DECEMBER 12TH AND FREE SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC ON DECEMBER 13TH. AACORP IS WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE CITY IN COORDINATING THE CLINICS.

Animal Adoption Center of Rocky Point sponsored the event !!!! AACORP provided all the visiting Veterinarians with lovely beach homes and meals during their stay and also donated $500.00 (A big thank you to Jim and Mary Schwebel of Minn. and Las Conchas for the donation of $500 )for their travel expenses

BROTHER'S PIZZA AND JIMMY'S TORTAS DONATED MEALS FOR THE GROUP.

Give Some Life Foundation coordinated 12 Veterinarians from Northern Mexico to attend the training seminar on the 12th of December. The local Veterinarians are now trained in the latest spay/neuter techniques.

On December 13th a total of 200 surgeries were performed without a single problem.

It was a miracle to behold !! We have been waiting 9 years now for this to happen. The new Mayor Alejandro Zepeda Munro of Puerto Penasco is truly an animal advocate and AACORP is working closely with the city of Puerto Penasco to scheduling additional clinics and adoption days.

There was so much love it was as if the angels were watching - over two hundred dogs and cats with their owners and not a fight or a disturbance.

We hope to have them back in the near future.

Our first fundraiser in Phoenix was held on February 11th 2007 for the Arizona Corporation.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the "Animal Adoption Center of Rocky Point Inc" an Arizona corporation.. Ed and Audrae Smith were in Rocky Point in November at the motorcycle rally. Audrae contacted me when she returned to Phoenix with her concerns about the dogs in Rocky Point. She wanted to Help !!!! I told her about the Arizona corporation and how we wanted to convert the donated Motor Home to a Mobile Animal Clinic and make trips to Rocky Point to hold spay/neuter clinics for free or low cost for the animals. Audrae and Ed came up with the idea of the "dog run".

Spay/neuter programs are the number one priority to cut down the over-population. Alison Barnhill DVM Adjunct Assistant Professor, College of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Biomedical Sciences at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa has conducted a spay/neuter clinic in conjunction with the local veterinarians who are allowing her to use their facilities. We are in need of surgery tables and instruments. Paws up to Dr. Barnhill and Barbara Horn a veterinary technician assisting Dr. Barnhill.

Kit Hoffman DVM along with her Veterinarian Technicians Amy and Debbie from

the Arizona Animal Welfare League in Phoenix Arizona (AAWL) have conducted many spay/nueter clinics for the animals in Puerto Penasco. Sheryl and Roberta also volunteered their services and their time working 8 -10 hour days. Penelope Fritz a Veterinarian Tech has volunteered her services at the center along with the volunteers from the AAWL. 99% of the animals altered at the center are large female street dogs with many other health issues that are treated by the AAWL.
