CCHS Update for 2023
2023 was another busy year for us at the Caye Caulker Humane Society and now that we are computerized, we have some interesting numbers to share!
But let’s talk about our people first! Our new regular volunteer Joe shows up each week and as a trained retired EMT his skills are super handy! And he has fallen for our semi resident dog Adele and takes care of her, too.
We still have the “pawsome” team of Pampered Paws from San Pedro, Ambergris Caye come over every Friday and use our deck to groom and pamper dogs. You can call them at their office in San Pedro for appointments at 226-2227.
On the downside, we were given notice on our land lease and we now have a year to come up with a plan. Check out our most recent blog post for details and our call for help! If you can’t donate, you can always help us by sharing this blog post on your social media!
We have set up regular monthly donations from folks who have specifically asked us. So, if there is anyone out there who would be interested in doing the same, just complete the Donation Form on our website, add the note in the message section that you would like to make a monthly donation and the amount you would like to donate, and we will be more than happy to set that up for you!
Caye Caulker Humane Society Clinic Visits
Since we have a data base our numbers continue to astonish!
Spay & Neuter (S&N) Clinics
We organize a spay and neuter clinic every 6 to 8 weeks at our clinic on Sinsonte Road.
Our annual Spay and Neuter at the Caye Caulker Humane Society looks like this:
Travel Ban
The CDC’s (USA and Canada) have extended the travel ban, there is an inkling of hope that it will be lifted at some point, but nobody in the industry thinks this will happen any time soon. That’s such a tough one for us.
Dogs are allowed from Mexico, so maybe someone out there has contacts for the dogs to stay in Mexico until they can clear through to the USA?
Dog Grooming
Pampered Paws and Katia have been renting the deck of the Caye Caulker Humane Society clinic for dog grooming every Friday.
It is working great for them so far and we are happy to refer dogs to them for nail, anal glands, and of course fab hair do’s! Their service has taken some pressure of off us!
Our "Pawesome" Team
Our core team at the Caye Caulker Humane Society are Amanda and Monique who head up the board, and our stalwart ‘ask-them-anything-and-they-will’ team of Joe, Carol, and Leighann for weekly clinics. They are our rocks and we could not do it without them!
Carol and the Cat Crew (Carin and Sophie) continue the task of clearing the island of wild reproducing cats – some feat!! Of course, it’s going to take a while but the numbers show in just two seasons what a difference it makes.
