Upcoming Events

Spay/Neuter Competition for the Elementary and High School Students

There will be some "homework" for our Elementary and High School students for their long summer vacation. On the enrollment days, (December 17th and 18th) all students are receiving information about the special spay/neuter competition, held in January from the 18th to the 23rd at the Jaco clinic.

The special price of the surgery will be 5000 colones, (about $9) which has to be paid by the student who brings the animal in. The first 25 students who bring an animal in will receive:

• a certificate good for 1 free consultation at the vet clinic, incl. de-worming
• one bag of dog/cat chow
• a nice new school kit (exercise books, pens, pencils, pencil boxes etc.)

There will be also some "surprise prizes" for all participants.

Vacation time here in Costa Rica is very long, and during this time our young people here don't have anything useful to do, as our county doesn't offer much for them. This will be a great opportunity for them to learn more about how a vet clinic works, as they will be interacting with the vet, learning about the proper care of their pets and maybe even getting a chance to volunteer in one of our clinics on occasion.
