a worthy cause in mulege


!!!HELP!!!
The Patrons of Animal Welfare (P.A.W.) Veterinary Clinic has served the community of Mulegé, BCS for over 12 years under the direction of Lorraine Sellers, DVM. We have an excellent reputation in the community and our accomplishments speak to the dedication of all those involved who have made the clinic possible.
In just the last two years of operation, we treated over 1700 animals (mostly dogs and cats). Of those, 256 dogs and 108 cats were spayed and 129 dogs and 59 cats were neutered. We administered over 1800 total doses of rabies and/or distemper vaccine and at least 600 doses of antiparasite medications to both cats and dogs. And we did it all on a shoestring budget with a lot of help from donations of all kinds.
Unfortunately last September, Hurricane Jimena finally took a toll on our ability to offer low-cost or no cost services to the community (about 70% of the animals belong to Mexican nationals): Lorraine and her husband Lou decided that they could no longer run the clinic after flood waters from Jimena (their fourth major flood since 2001) covered the clinic and their home in 19 ft of water and resulted in an almost total loss of the clinic’s equipment and supplies.
With the clinic being closed, our greatest concern for Mulegé is that without the ongoing sterilization and vaccination of dogs and cats, the animal population will begin to spiral out of control again and disease rates will rise. Just in the last few months since the hurricane, some diseases (most noticeably parvovirus) already seem to be on the rise. The permanent loss of the clinic would have a major impact of the quality of life for both animals and humans alike.
Our goal is to re-open in December 2010 more specifically as a spay/neuter clinic (and offering vaccinations, of course). We have the staff, we have the will and now all we need is you! We need as much help as we can get to relocate the clinic and to raise funds to replace essential equipment and supplies.
All donations, however small or large, are much appreciated and can be made to any clinic volunteer, or via Paypal (donate money to PAW as a “gift” to account = ecomujeres@aol.com). Contact us at this email if you need a tax deduction.
Thank you from all of us, the volunteer staff of the Mulegé P.A.W. Clinic!
¡¡¡AUXILIO!!!

David & Linda Rose

What wonderful news!!! We were so sad to hear that Lorraine my hero would not be returning and now we are so pleased to learn that the clinic may reopen once again. It is the only one in our whole county and did such an amazing job on our animals. We will happily spread the word and help where we can....thank you thank you thank you David and Linda.
