Our mission: To stop animal abandonment before It starts.
Palora has a large population of stray animals, with Innocent cats and dogs being treated as pests. Sterilization helps us break the cycle and prevent thousands of unwanted litters from being born and abandoned. Thanks to our supporters, Esteriliza Hoy has sterilized over 300 animals.
Please consider making a monthly donation to help us continue this critical work. Just $20 can sterilize two animals. Together, we can avoid unnecessary suffering and make sure all dogs and cats are wanted, cared for, and loved.
OUR HISTORY
In 2022, a mother and daughter duo driven by compassion embarked on a mission to improve the lives of dogs and cats in Palora, Ecuador. Like many small towns in developing countries, Palora faces a significant challenge with a large population of stray animals. These animals endure harsh conditions, including:
Starvation
Dehydration
Deadly Diseases
Road Accidents
Animal Attacks
Poisoning
Initially, we partnered with Asociacion Dejando Huellas (Leaving Paw Prints Association), an animal sanctuary, to provide immediate relief through rescue and food distribution. However, as the scale of the problem became apparent, we realized that a more sustainable solution was needed.
SHIFTING OUR FOCUS TO STERILIZATION
In 2023, we pivoted our focus to address the root cause of the problem: uncontrolled reproduction. We began offering free and subsidized sterilization services to pet owners and stray animals. By working closely with Asociacion Dejando Huellas, we established a low-cost veterinary clinic that provides affordable care and promotes responsible pet ownership.
Our goal is to make sterilization a common practice, reduce the number of abandoned animals, and ultimately improve the overall well-being of animals in Palora and the surrounding communities.
Esterliza Hoy is proud to partner with Asociacion Dejando Huellas, an animal rescue, sanctuary, and veterinary organization, to help coordinate and realize our sterilization campaigns. Dejando Huellas is passionate about ending animal suffering and abandonment through sterilization and education.
