5000 Spay/Neuter operations at the Bogrov shelter!!!

We are celebrating a big achievement – the clinic we registered in 2010 has reached a record of its sort! Our Spay/Neuter program, led by the tireless d-r Marietta Stankova with great enthusiasm, although with limited resources has reached FIVE THOUSAND surgeries this week!!!

Here is the girl who wears the special number 5000 – a sweet yard female, brought to the center by the municipal catchers of Ecobalance. The girl is already recovering problem-free in her home.

Huge congratulations to d-r Stankova. No matter how cold or hot it was, how many problems she has, or if she is ill, Marietta was at her mount guard by the surgery table – standing for long hours, all covered in blood and iodine…

In these 3 years d-r Stankova trained many young doctors who came all the way from Holland and Belgium, as well as two Bulgarian vets who can be proud of what they have achieved in abdominal surgeries – d-r Rosi Stoyanova (who has gone back to her hometown) and d-r Ralitza Gergushka who is showing great potential.

If we assume that half of those 5 000 neutered animals are males (and we neuter 80% females), then in 3 years we have spared this city 940 000 unwanted puppies. Their lives that would be short and agonizing never started – they were spared too.

D-r Stankova and d-r Gergushka had a celebration with two huge cakes that they shared with everyone in the shelter, of course. It’s important to note that d-r Stankova has worked as a Spay/Neuter vet for years before she started working with us, so she has most likely long passed her personal 10 000 castrations.

We thank the volunteers who continue to restlessly catch and bring dogs for neutering to the shelter. We thank the donors whose generosity has led to the humane neutering of so many animals – this is the most effective and reasonable method to decrease the numbers of suffering animals in the streets, but sadly – few people understand it.  We thank our wonderful doctors who save lives every day.
