OUR 4 POINT APPROACH TO REACHING OUR GOAL:
STERILIZATION
MAR believes that the most important aspect to reducing the number of unwanted dogs is sterilization. MAR fully supports the PAW organization (a local long-established volunteer group that has been holding sterilization clinics and treating the animals of Mulegé since 1999) and we assist their efforts to spay and neuter as many dogs as possible. MAR also works with local veterinarian Dr. Uriel Valdez to increase how many more dogs get sterilized. We prioritize street dogs and then travel to each neighborhood, assisting residents in getting their dog(s) sterilized. This work continues year-round with a higher focus during summer months so as to minimize the population booms that occur when most foreigners are away.
EDUCATION
A MAR representative will drive to each neighborhood to meet residents and share information about sterilization options, clinics, veterinarians, etc. Small flyers with the number of offspring that can result from two unsterilized pets will be distributed. The education will not be shame-based, but rather encourage people to become a part of the solution.
MAR and a mascot will offer regular visits/educational sessions in schools about proper pet care. We will aim to create an “animal blessing” event at a local church as a community builder. MAR will renew conversations with local government as we believe that the local governing bodies have an important role to play; after all, having feral dogs, potentially causing harm and spreading diseases is not good for any politician or its constituents.
CARE/RESCUE
Helping save an animal’s life can take many forms; there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. In some instances, feeding an abandoned animal in place is the most humane option. A top priority then is sterilization. In other cases, allowing an abandoned dog to stay on the streets will lead to significant suffering and death. In those instances, bringing a stray into a facility is the most humane action possible. Currently, dogs are fostered in private homes and at the property of Hector Loreto.
ADOPTION
MAR is committed to finding homes for abandoned dogs. As such, we use resources such as this website, social media, networking, local adoption events, and continue working with established resources in the US/Canada to create a movement channel for adoptable dogs. Between our small pool of founding members, we have already found homes for dozens of dogs just through simple networking. Our success will increase significantly once we have an established framework.
