Over the weekend I volunteered with the amazing mobile clinic & helped ~100 dogs recieve an affordable spay/neuter service with vaccines & microchip ππΆπ₯
It was a busy, awe-inspiring weekend & honor to join a hardworking, skilled team of professional vet medicine women dedicated to reducing pet overpopulation, unwanted litters & hormonal aggression π©ββοΈππͺ
I had my 2 female huskies spayed (updated on parvo/distemper, rabies & chipped) after waiting for their 1st heats to pass, allowing them to reach sexual maturity which was my preference after research π»π©Έπ
Take Away from home-based Rover dogsitting in 2022 - my biggest challenge involved managing unneutered & unspayed adult dog hormone behavior - humpy dogs, aggression, peeing on everything, you name it π
I learned I was one of the only sitters to take 'unfixed' dogs for boarding & daycare in the valley & after awhile I experienced burn out π₯π
I am sorry to no longer offer petsitting but I did love getting to know the many wild & wonderful pooches & their loving owners residing in the Grand Valley!! I encourage pet parents to spay & neuter their fur babies after their own research journey with breed specific recommendations π€π
The Delta Clinic comes back in September & they are always looking for hardworking volunteers to join their team if you're interested in getting involved! πππ₯
