Tod Emko, President, Darwin Animal Doctors
DAD volunteers have been clocking serious overtime in their deterimination to serve as much of the Galapagos community as possible, and to treat as many animals as they can. To date, we have treated 312 animals in our summer campaign!
On Santa Cruz Island, our UPenn vet student volunteers have seen a huge load of dramatic injury cases, sterilizations, and late nights, meeting each case with tireless enthusiasm and amazing care. On our busiest day, our Santa Cruz vet, Dr. Seina Capp of Australia, performed over twenty sterilization surgeries!
University of Florida vet student volunteers, who already finished with their portion of the campaign, actually returned to our clinic on their day off, to offer a hand to the UPenn students!
On San Cristobal Island, our St. George’s University vet students and DAD vet Dr. Diego Barrera from Ambato, worked hard until it was time to catch their flights home. The St. George’s University vet students had been treating animals across three different islands for the past three weeks straight!
In total, we sterilized nearly a hundred cats and dogs so far on Galapagos this summer. So many of the vet student volunteers have thanked us for the opportunity to make such a difference in this UN World Heritage Site. But it is you, our supporters, that we all must thank.
It is your decision to help save the Galapagos that ensures a future for all the animals worldwide the depend on this important archipelago. Without your decision to help, none of our volunteers could go to Galapagos and save these animals to protect our World Heritage.
Thank you all for helping the Galapagos and the future of so many.
