Greetings!,
Here in the U.S., folks are busy getting kids back to school
and settling in for the fall. Where ever you are, we hope you'll take a few
moments from your busy schedule to read our exciting updates in this
e-newsletter!
 While we work toward future technologies for sterilizing
cats and dogs without surgery, there's an existing product with great potential
to extend reach of sterilization in communities around the world. EsterilSol™ is
an injectable sterilant for male dogs, and through ACC&D's new EsterilSol Small Grants Program (ESGP), we'll help approved NGO's in non-U.S. countries get
started using this technology. Please read on to learn about how the ESGP might
be able to help your organization. And if you're able, please consider
contributing to the program. Just $4 can pay for an injection to sterilize one
dog!
You're already a fan of ACC&D. Now you can become our fan on the new ACC&D page on Facebook! We also have a Cause for our EsterilSol Small Grants
Program: "Sterilize a needy dog with a $4 injection". Plus, we've added a "share" function to our web pages, so you can
share content through your favorite social media program. Read on
for details, and please join us!
Finally, we'll be at PetSmart Charities' Feline Forum next
month in Chicago. We'd love to see you there!
Wishing all the best to you and yours,
Sincerely,
Joyce Briggs, President

 EsterilSol Small Grants Program
|
Helping nonprofits make use of injectable sterilization
|
EsterilSol is an injectable
sterilant for male dogs which results in permanent sterilization with one
treatment. EsterilSol is the Latin American brand of Neutersol, which is
FDA-approved, though not currently available in the U.S.
EsterilSol has particular
potential in communities where pet owners are resistant to surgical castration,
or where surgical neutering is unavailable. The EsterilSol Small Grants Program
(ESGP) will help non-U.S. nonprofit organizations get started using this
technology. Grants will help cover training-related expenses and will match the
organization's initial purchase of product. 
Apply for a grant
If you believe
that EsterilSol and this grant program may be a good fit for your organization,
please visit our ESGP page on our website to learn more about applying for a
grant.
Sponsor a grant
Whether you donate $4 to sterilize one dog or $3,000 to sponsor a full grant, your support will make it
possible to sterilize dogs who could not otherwise be sterilized. You can learn
more and make a donation through our website or through our cause on
Facebook.
