A huge “CONGRATULATIONS!” to our vet d-r Marietta Stankova who has a huge thing to celebrate: 4000 Spayed/Neutered at our clinic!

When we began working at the municipal Bogrov shelter there wasn’t even a clinic registered at the premises. With the help of our friends at the Good Idea vet clinic we managed to do the complicated registration. So, in July 2010 on a surgery table donated by the Golden retriever club we began neutering.
Today, 2 years later, we have 2 surgery tables at the clinic. Every month veterinary students from Utrecht, Holland and Gent, Belgium come to volunteer and help our vets for the Spay/Neuter program. We have 4 vets working with us.
Our main task and something we are proud of was to convince the Sofia municipality that the Spay/Neuter procedure should be also made free for owned animals, as they are the key to solving the problem in our region. Strays mostly come from dumped yard puppies and dogs.

The Bogrov shelter turned into the most popular place for the neutering of owned animals. Even now, we have all appointments booked till the end of this month. Also many volunteers bring dogs for neutering from all over the city.
Our Spay/Neuter center works 7 days a week, and on Wednesday and Thursday we neuter dogs brought by the Municipal Ecobalance company. We also take emergency cases of pregnant dogs and cats without an appointment, all people have to do is phone in advance.
Spay/Neuter remains to be a large expense for us. If you would like to support our program DONATE for materials and medications. It is the most adequate way to join forces if we want the stray dog problem solved.
