Animals in Negril

[booger]

I'm not sure if you mean to keep the focus on animals here in this thread … or focus on the plight of same in Negril. I'm not getting on my soapbox but I sure recognize for animal lovers, it is a different reality and sometimes hurts. It is what it is. It hurts even for me to sound so casual.

I admire those that bring home street dogs from all over the world to enjoy a better life. It is a beautiful thing… but it perpetuates.

My Canadian friend, JDd above, you can have another dog. I think you should name a dog in Negril and pay to have him fixed. I will follow … apparently it's easier to fix the males lol!!

There are things you can do to help if you are so impassioned for our furry friends. Debbie Lightheart is still hosting spay and neuter clinics, and help is much appreciated if you can set aside a half day. There is always a need for leashes and collars, which you can get for cheap at a dollar store. Or if you just want to give some money to help fund the clinics you can do that as well. You can find her on Facebook if you do not know who Debbie is. My wife is an RVT and has found great joy volunteering her time and skills to help out the local folks with their pets. I hung out for a bit and can say that the local folks are thrilled for the support given.

It's great to hear about visitors helping out with the dogs and cats through education and donation! Giving and sharing so is rewarding in many ways. We always bring school supplies, activity books, flash cards, dry erase markers, reading glasses and other misc items with us and take them to a school in Sheffield while we're there. The teachers are always appreciative and the kids love singing and chatting with us for a little bit during their day. So you guys can help with the animals and we'll help take care of the kids - works for me
