This past week during a sad situation, we stumbled with a couple that have just gotten a dog a few weeks ago.

| Interview at the vet's office |
This couple is Edgardo Mercado and Santa Rodriguez got Booker their hound three weeks ago, because the women that had him could not stay with him where she lived. They decided to take him into their care. We met them in an Animal Hospital in Juana Diaz, PR, while overcoming an emergency with a kitten that was found hurt in the middle of the sidewalk.
They had taken Booker for a sterilization process because they wanted Booker to be a healthy stay at home dog, and if he ever gets loose he doesn't impregnate any female dogs on the streets. Spaying and Neutering is one of the most important things an owner can do for his pet. Many people have pets and when they get tired of them they just leave them stranded on the streets and since they are not sterilized they impregnate other dogs and this is a really big problem because there starts the overpopulation of stray dogs and cats. This is a vicious cycle that day by day has an domino effect on all the shelters, animal rescues and amount of the abuse these animals are exposed to.

It is sad to see how people see this every single day, and don't do anything to make it better. W sgould sterilize our dogs so the over population of stranded dogs everywere would decrease. Becasuse its what we can do as good and responsible pet owners.

Abandoned animals all over Puerto Rico is a huge problem. Citizens, animal shelters and the government must come together to fight this problem and give it the importance it deserves.
