Island Veterinarians Assist in Preparing 68 Rescued Dogs for New Homes

A mobile clinic that was owned by veterinarian Laura Prida was parked outside of the Galveston Island Humane Society on Monday. She assisted in spaying and neutering sixteen of the sixty-eight dogs taken in by the shelter the previous week. They move closer to becoming ready for adoption as a result of the effort that has been shown.

On March 10, a bus carrying 71 animals considered to be underweight and emaciated was discovered at Galveston Island State Park. The shelter took in 49 of the animals. During that time period, an additional 18 dogs were brought in as strays or surrenders, increasing the total number of canines who require veterinary care to 68.

As part of the effort to achieve the objective of having all of the canines spayed and neutered by the 27th of March, a number of veterinary clinics located on Galveston Island and in Galveston County have volunteered their assistance. When all treatments are finished, the dogs will be available for adoption.

On the adoption website of the shelter, you may find photographs of the pets that are ready to be adopted into another home. The 29th of March will see an event hosted at Moody Mansion with the purpose of further promoting adoption activities.

The shelter strongly encourages the community to consider adopting or fostering certain animals to give these rescued animals a second shot at a loving home.
