Presidente de Animalandia: (Lucy) Maria de la luz Gonzales Barron

Animalandia is a non-profit organization that provides spay and neuter, and adoption services for homeless cats and dogs and education for the community in Loreto, BCS, Mexico.
|
Our Purpose
To improve the quality of life for the animals and people of Loreto, Baja California Sur, by promoting the sterilization of dogs and cats and promoting education on the care of animals.
|
Animal Sterilization
The mission of Animalandia is to reduce the unwanted animal population of Loreto through sterilization of the street dogs and the pets of people who could not otherwise afford this service. Animalandia presently holds these spay and neuter clinics, with the help of visiting vets, holding neighborhood clinics several times a year.
The potential impact of sterilization is tremendous. In a community the size of Loreto, about 15,000 inhabitants, Animalandia’s work will make a noticeable reduction in the population of street animals, making streets cleaner and safer and improving the lives of the animals.
|
Education
Community education is tremendously important in helping to control the unwanted animal population as well as to improve the well being of both the human and animal residents of Loreto. Roaming packs of animals can impact the health of the human community through disease (rabies, parasites, bites, and spread of garbage). Moreover it has been shown that reduction of animal abuse through human
education also leads to a reduction in domestic violence.
|
Adoption
An attempt is made to find homes for neutered dogs and cats. Our president, Lucy, has even flown animals to her friends and family in Mainland Mexico and many others have found families in the United States as well as locally. When animals are unable to be placed they are tattooed as sterile and returned to the streets.
