We accept in-kind donations in Oaxaca, Mexico, or monetary donations in any amount of your convenience which may be dedicated toward these specific expenses.


SPAY / NEUTER

$15 - $120

Spaying and neutering is the best way to help street dogs in the long term. The approximate cost of a spay/neuter procedure during our campaigns is 300 pesos / $15 USD. If the dog is a female street dog, she will need to be boarded for 10 days after the procedure, which is an additional $105 USD. In some cases, we are able to find people to foster the dogs during their recovery time, which allows them to recover in a comfortable home environment and saves on boarding expenses. We eventually hope to have our own land where the dogs can recover after their surgeries, but for now, our space is limited and the boarding is an essential part of this step.


TVT Chemo Treatment

$45 per treatment

TVT is a cancerous sexually transmitted disease that is unfortunately very common amongst unspayed and unneutered street dogs in warm climates. Chemotherapy is required to treat TVT; usually in 1-4 rounds depending on the severity. Each round of chemo costs 900 pesos / $45 usd.


Mange Treatment

$15

Here we treat mange with a medicine called Bravecto. Bravecto kills the parasite responsible for mange, as well as ticks and fleas. Usually one dosage is enough to treat mange, but sometimes two dosages are required. The cost is 300 pesos or $15 per dose.


FULL PACKAGE

$250

Sponsor a dog! The approximate cost of a spay/neuter, boarding during recovery time, vaccinations, deworming, and large bag of food is approximately $250 USD.
