They care for pets both at home and away.

A local holistic veterinary clinic is returning to Mexico to help spay and neuter dogs after a successful trip in 2014.

The team at Pawsitive Veterinary Care says their visit to Cancun was very fulfilling and it was clear their help was needed.

“Too many unwanted dogs and cats either are left abandoned to reproduce yet more unwanted pets or are abused beyond belief. We were able to make a big difference for two different volunteer rescue organizations there,” states a press release.

Now one veterinarian, two animal health technicians and two support staff will be travelling this November to Puerto Penasco to help the animals.

They are looking to raise funds for the trip and will be holding a special ‘pet lover’s market’ to gather donations.

Pet Together in the Barking Lot will take place Sunday Sept. 25 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 1551 Sutherland Avenue.

In 2014 the team collected bottles and cans, and volunteered toenail trims for donations to fund the trip.

“We left a sizeable chunk of cash with the volunteers in Cancun along with a bunch of much needed drugs and supplies,” they said.

Pawsitive Veterinary Care also helps animals locally by fundraising for the Okanagan Humane Society and discounting those less fortunate who need procedures for their pets.

A GoFundMe page is also set up to help raise money for the 2016 excursion. Currently just over $1,000 of the $8,000 has been raised.
