The power of animal-loving consumers -
In November 2019, Tobago-based animal rescue NGO Venus Doggess of Love facilitated a free feline spay/neuter clinic. Mt Irvine Bay Resort gave us a guest cabin that was available for use as our temporary vet clinic and housed and fed the vet team (from Trinidad) for the weekend of the project.
That weekend a pregnant dog that had moved onto the hotel grounds gave birth to 11 puppies. Not only did the resort agree to my request to let the dog stay there safely until the pups were weaned and adopted, but members of staff devotedly fed her and her offspring for the duration of their stay, until they were rehomed successfully, locally and abroad.
