However, over her lifetime she had had countless litters and was still cycling in her old age. For fear that she would accidentally become pregnant again, her owner wanted to have "Pecas" spayed.

Thank you Team Grenada!

In April World Vets sent an all female volunteer veterinary team to St. George's, Grenada. There they worked in collaboration with the Grenada SPCA as well as students from St. George's University. Together we provided a large scale spay/neuter and animal health campaign which resulted in animals from all over the island benefiting from our free services.

We'd like to thank World Vets veterinary volunteers as well as GSPCA and St. George's University for all of their support in making our visit and campaign a reality.
