The Mash will take place in Noord and will be housed in the defunct post office building behind Island Finance.
Just ahead of the mass spaying and neutering 15 volunteers of Luna Caring Team, visited a number of neighborhood to identify potential four-legged clients.

Zoey Zoraida Conijn, a woman who rescues dogs and cats every day was responsible for that one, she called it The Big Feed.
The idea was the offer food, then collar and tag the strays with a red Luna ID disc, now dangling from their new neckbands. Zoey reports her volunteers fed, collared, tagged and registered 83 strays, which will then be trapped by Criollo Trappers, and invited to the Mash. “We marked down their locations and Criollo Trappers will follow up, find them and get them spayed/neutered. That’s the only way to have less unwanted animals on our streets,” she explains.
The seven large Purina dog food bags use for the Big Feed were donated by tourist who are FB friends of Luna Caring Team.
Overall, Zoey says she is proud to repot the situation in Noord is much improved, while San Nicholas is still problematic, with lots of strays on the street procreating without any efforts made by the residents to curb their proliferation.
Zoey also adds: “We also saw a few sick ones and will go back to offer our help. Some owned strays are also in need of a more caring home, that too will be taken care of.”
She is a woman with a big heart, and big hair!
Together we will make a difference!! #LOVELUNA #THEBIGFEED2018
From the United Dog Website: “We organized our first Spay and Neuter project in May 2017. For 2018, we will again be arriving with a team of veterinary surgeons and technicians to perform the surgeries. We are planning a 4-day clinic to successfully sterilize up to 400 dogs. Our focus will be stray dogs and we need help from a large number of local volunteers.”
If you go to the website you will find their wish list of supplies needed for the 2018 project. People can help in different categories, from medical supplies to catering; to run this project they will need 40 – 60 volunteers daily.
Most importantly, for every $20 donated, one dog will receive the necessary medication and be sterilized.
