More About Puerto's Volunteer Organization To Help Animals
A group of 8 volunteers in Puerto Armuelles is dedicated to helping animals.  

They offer a monthly clinic to spay, neuter, vaccinate, de-worm, and more.   They are most concerned about preventing the spread of diseases.

At first, an organization in David, Voz de las animales, had conducted a monthly animal clinic in Puerto Armuelles.  But after a year they stopped.

Then Dr. Crespo asked Irma if she was willing to organize the monthly clinic in Puerto Armuelles.  If she was, he would continue to come down from David for the clinic. Irma was willing and Voluntarios Por Los Animales - Puerto Armuelles was born.

Irma lives in Puerto Armuelles and is a biology teacher at the high school in Progresso.  One of the volunteers owns Coco's place, a hotel in Puerto Armuelles, and that is where the clinic is held.

Voluntarios Por Los Animales - Puerto Armuelles has a facebook page.  

Please like it.  Upload any photos you have from the clinic, and let people know about this organization.

I am sure the page will expand and provide more information on how you can help as the organization grows.

How To Help

Any help with any the items below would be tremendously appreciated.

 - Volunteer at the clinics
 - Dog and cat food
 - Animal crates to transport animals and keep them safe
 - Foster home for homeless cats and dogs
 - Money to help with costs of helping street animals
 - Adopt & care for a homeless animal

Collection Jars

You can also collection money for them.  To make it look official and consistent, they have a wrapper for you to cover your collection jar.  

Download the wrapper at the link above.  It is a pdf that you can print out and use.

One woman taxi driver in Puerto Armuelles, keeps her collection jar in her taxi and collects donations from her riders.  You can also donate at the clinic itself.  They have a collection jar at each clinic, ready for your generous contribution.
