Bucarest Spayathon, 2010

Our main goal is to spay/neuter street dogs to prevent the birth of puppies. We have joined forces with Dr. Aurelian Stefan, and given him a caravan with vet supplies to travel to towns and rural areas in Romania to offer free spay/neuter to the animals. Almost all of the animals have care givers, and they willingly bring dogs, cats, horses, cows, burros to the free "clinic" for care. RAR pays Dr. Aurelian $29 per spay/neuter, vaccination.

Next, we send US vets to do mass spay/neuter and train Romanian vets on spay/neuter procedures in Romania. Most Romanian vets are not skilled surgeons, and cause great harm to the animals. Our vets teach the best techniques for surgeries. We also get a large number of local citizens to bring their animals in for treatment by the American vet! Each American vet program (2 per year) costs $6000, but the training they provide and the spay/neuter procedures they perform make it a very good and cost-effective investment.
Tecuci Spayathon, 2010
In addition to these surgeries, RAR has funded deparasiting medicine, animal transport, vaccinations, and veterinary supplies.
When 80% of the street animals are sterilized, we will have achieved zero population growth.
