World Spay Day is underway at the Cayman Islands Humane Society clinic! We have exactly 333 animals in our care as of today and more waiting for space at the shelter. Spaying and neutering is the only way to avoid unwanted litters, reduce the overpopulation of dogs and cats in these Islands, improve animal welfare and alleviate the severe overcrowding in our shelter.

Hello LinkedIn family, Our research, recently published on ResearchGate which is titled "Exploring the Impact of Social Enterprises on People's Engagement with Animal Welfare" The paper talks about the organization PFA Mysuru: Transforming Animal Welfare in the City of Palaces. Mysuru, India, boasts a rich history alongside its bustling streets. But beneath the vibrant facade lies a tale of unwavering commitment to voiceless animals. Established in 2010, PFA Mysuru, inspired by Maneka Gandhi's national animal rights movement, has become a beacon of hope. Our mission extends far beyond the shelter walls. Dedicated volunteers tirelessly fight animal abuse, educate the community, and advocate for the voiceless. Every sterilized stray, responsible pet owner, and act of compassion is a testament to our work. PFA Mysuru's story is more than animal welfare; it's a tapestry woven with responsibility, community, and the belief that kindness can change the world, one wag at a time. This is a future where compassion reigns supreme, and all creatures in need have a haven.

Shelter dogs and cats with an outcome of return to owner differ from animals with other outcomes. A recent article in the ASSOCIATION OF SHELTER VETERINARIANS INC's Journal of Shelter Medicine and Community Animal Health (JSMCAH) found that the shelter dogs and cats with the highest likelihood of returning to their owners were older, healthy, neutered, microchipped, or came to the shelter as part of assisting a different public agency. The season at the time of impound and animal sex did not affect the likelihood of returning to the owner. This type of information can be used to inform shelter policies, such as hold times, to help streamline flow through capacity. https://lnkd.in/g_tdqUTN #VeterinaryResearch #ShelterMedicine
