February 18th was my Mom's Birthday!! Happy Birthday Mom! The same day I went to the Navajo Reservation in the Gap, AZ. After doing a presentation at the elementary school we dropped food and water off at the local dump. There are thousands of stray dogs on the reservation and because there are no vets or humane societies near this particular town we check the dump for puppies and injured animals. Last month we found four dead puppies who's eyes weren't even open yet and a dog that had been shot and put in a box. This time however we found no dead dogs and one little puppy that was alive and VERY happy to see us. A few days before a friend of our found 12 puppies and lady found a litter of kittens in the actual dumpster. There is a free spay/neuter clinic in April on the Reservation so we are slowly trying to stop the overpopulation of animals there. We brought a Moloccan Cockatoo named Seppi to show the students and the Fredonia humane society took the puppy in when we got back home. Thank goodness. Best Friends doesn't take drop offs and they get over 2000 request a month from people and places wanting us to take their animals.
