Whilst trapping this morning we noticed that one of the young females in the yard was drooling and unable to close her mouth. She was very skinny.

We had spayed her in January, along with her siblings, but we knew something wasn’t quite right. After a bit of coaxing we managed to secure her and get her in a crate.

We took her to the clinic, where they sedated her, and did some investigation. 🔍

She had a large piece of bone wedged between her back teeth, that was pushing into her gums and cheek. From the smell, we can only imagine that it had been this way for a long time. 🤢

The offending item was removed, and she was given some anti inflammatory drugs and antibiotics. She will stay in the clinic overnight, and be returned tomorrow morning.

Tonight she will get to eat her first substantial meal in a long while. Full tum and a comfy bed… 💖
Without our intervention it is certain that she would have starved to death. Thank you to Dr Meghann and team at Bark & Bliss for caring for her 🌟

💔 Neuter Your Ex for Valentine’s Day! 💔

Because some things shouldn’t breed. 😏

For just $50, SNiP will name a stray dog or cat after your ex. They’ll then be spayed or neutered as part of our free spay & neuter program, helping to prevent more unwanted litters in Turks & Caicos.

Spaying and neutering is the most effective way to reduce the number of homeless animals on the islands. Your donation helps us provide these life-saving surgeries at no cost to pet owners and stray caregivers in need.

To participate, send $50 and your ex’s name via our link in bio!

✨ Don’t worry, we’ll only use first names or nicknames! ✨

🦴 Day 4/10 🦴

2025 Provo Spay & Neuter Clinic

On Thursday (02.06.25), the field team worked with a family in South Dock to trap 5 puppies and 3 adult dogs in their yard that had not been fixed yet (pictures 4 & 10). Thankfully, we captured all of the dogs we wanted to and now they're all fixed!

Wendy and Louise of the SNiP TCI field team continued to kick butt and go out into the community to trap and bring back dogs for spay & neuter.

Back at the clinic, Dr. Alexx performed a unique surgery on beloved Middle Caicos stray potcake John Cena. In the last few months, TCPSCA volunteer Patti (picture 1) noticed that he was having eye issues. She brought him into her home but his conditioned worsened. She had him ferried over from North Caicos to Provo where he came to the clinic for assessment and surgery. We suspect he has eye cancer. The best way forward was to completely remove his eye, also called an enucleation (picture 3). Tune in to tomorrow’s post for pictures of his recovery!

Our Provo Clinic would not be nearly as successful without the cooperation of TCI pet owners. A majority of the animals that come through the clinic are owned rather than strays. Thank you to the TCI community members (pictures 5 & 7) for being responsible pet owners and bringing their animals in for surgery.

Our next FREE Spay & Neuter Clinic will be on North/Middle Caicos from March 24th-28th. If you’d like to make an appointment or have any questions, give us a call ☎️ @ 941-8846 or 231-3052.

Our Spay & Neuter Clinics are free of charge. If you’d like to support the animal welfare work that we do here in the Turks and Caicos Islands, you may do so through our website tcspca.tc

🦋 Day 2/10 🦋

Day 2 of our 2025 Provo Spay & Neuter Clinic was busy, busy, busy!

The field team returned to South Dock to return 2 dogs that were fixed yesterday as well as scope out some new areas across the street for trapping. They caught 2 strays from a dog pack in the area: Jeff the puppy (picture 7) and Alex an adult male (pictures 3 & 11). We were devastated to think Jeff the pup was going to go back to living on the streets. Luckily, we were able to secure a foster home for him with help from Potcake Place K-9 Rescue.

SNiP TCI was on a roll in the field, trapping puppies and adult dogs in Blue Hills and transporting them back to the clinic for surgery.

Dr. Alexx and vet techs Abi and Melissa worked seamlessly to execute 🐱28 spay & neuters🐶

🐶 Day 1/10 🐶

Day 1 of our 2025 Provo Spay & Neuter clinic was a knockout! With 🌟26🌟 spay and neuters, we had a great start to our 2 week clinic. Our Texas vet team, consisting of Dr. Alexx and vet techs Melissa and Abi, absolutely crushed it as did the SNiP TCI team and our own field and clinic volunteers. Thank you for joining us for the day, John and Olivia 🐾

Thank you to the TCI community members for being responsible pet owners and bringing their animals in for surgery. We saw a constant flow of people coming in for meds such as heart worm and flea and tick as well and we couldn’t be happier!

If you haven’t made your appointment yet, give us a call ☎️ @ 941-8846 or 231-3052. We’ve just begun our FREE two week clinic but appointments are filling up fast so call us ASAP. Call us with any questions.

Until tomorrow! We’ll be here all week 😉

🐾 February Spay Days Sponsor: Needles and Pins! 🐾

This month, we’re thrilled to welcome Needles and Pins as our February Spay Days sponsor! Their generous support is dedicated to Bernard Kivlehan, who is celebrating his 70th birthday this month. Bernard is a lifelong animal advocate—so much so that he’s currently nursing a pigeon that fell from a tree near his home in Belgium. 🕊️💙

A huge thank you to Design Studio for their incredible support as our January sponsor! Your generosity has helped us make a real difference in controlling the suffering caused by animal overpopulation.

At SNiP, we work hard to provide free spay & neuter surgeries to pets and strays in need—but we can’t do it alone. It’s because of donors like Needles and Pins and Design Studio that this mission is possible. 🙌🐶🐱

Bruce... what a handsome, distinguished old gentleman you were 🐾🌈🌟

This adorable face popped up in our window today… 💖

Our old crates have definitely seen some action over the years, and as such are disintegrating one by one 😬

This one was helped along the way by our overnight client, who wasn’t thrilled with his sleeping quarters 😳😳🤣

We need to order some more, we only need six crates (approx $60 per crate) to be able to carry our precious cargo safely, and without injury.

If you’re able to help us with a donation

(https://www.fygaro.com/en/pb/1e3dbd80-1b91-4bc6-a9e2-26f613c6b9db/)

or, you have a spare medium sized dog crate that you are no longer using, we would be very grateful for your help!

🌟 Huge Thanks to Design Studio! 🌟

We’re starting the year with a heart full of gratitude for our January sponsor, Design Studio! 💚 Their incredible generosity is making a massive impact — funding an entire month of spay and neuter surgeries and care for animals in need here in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

🐾 Thanks to their support, more than 30 animals will get the help they need, and hundreds of unwanted litters will be prevented, sparing countless puppies and kittens from a life of suffering and starvation. This is the kind of compassion that truly changes lives! 🐶🐱

💔 But the work doesn’t stop here. We urgently need a sponsor for February to ensure we can continue helping animals who depend on us. If you love animals and care about the beautiful Turks and Caicos, we need your help! Businesses, individuals — anyone can make a life-saving difference.

Please reach out to us via DM if you’re interested in stepping up to sponsor. Together, we can create a kinder, brighter future for these animals.

Thank you again, Design Studio, for being a true hero for the animals! 🙏

Our community is full of heroes and today SNiP gets to celebrate Sandra Shaw - on her birthday no less - for helping out in a big way.

Sandra, together with helper Eva, organized and hosted a yard sale which raised funds for spay and neuter efforts in the Turks and Caicos.

SNiP is so grateful for people like you who contribute in significant ways to help the suffering and overpopulation of animals here in Provo. ❤️
