Belize: We finally made it out the door after a 2 year hiatus due to Covid-19. Visiting Veterinarians International traveled with 11 volunteers to Punta Gorda, Belize for a 3 day Spay & Neuter campaign January 22-24, 2020. We were able to examine, spay, neuter, and vaccinate 164 dogs and cats in Punta Gorda. We then traveled to Belmopan, Belize for another 3 day campaign on January 27-29, 2022, where we treated 145 pets for a total of 309 pets helped in Belize. We were able to provide free blood testing for Heartworm, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis and Lyme disease to over 200 dogs. We are grateful to our sponsor Dr. Floyd Bennet of Lakeview Animal clinic and Healthy Pet’s Veterinary Clinic and Belmopan Humane Society and Punta Gorda Humane Society.
