However, sometimes resources aren\u2019t accessible or available at all.

Volunteer Gabriel Lopez Ceballos helped coordinate the event, and veterinarian Jorge Arturo Dzul Leon and his team from Petsland Canc\u00fan performed the sterilization surgeries. Chichimil\u00e1 Mayor Francisco Medina Martin made an appearance at the clinic to encourage community turnout.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Waiting-for-Sterilization-in-Chichimila.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Waiting-for-Sterilization-in-Chichimila-602x293.jpg\" alt=\"A line of guardians wait their turn at the PETA clinic\"\/><\/a>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Nearly 150 animals were sterilized at the Chichimil\u00e1 event. PETA\u2019s staff also counseled many people on the importance of letting dogs live indoors instead of chaining them outdoors or allowing them to roam. When not working in the clinic, PETA\u2019s supporters treated stray animals for fleas, ticks, and heartworms. Leftover medication will be used at another PETA clinic, at Canc\u00fan\u2019s municipal animal shelter, helping even more vulnerable dogs and cats in the area.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/PETA-staffer-with-dog.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/PETA-staffer-with-dog-602x293.jpeg\" alt=\"PETA\"\/><\/a>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Above and Beyond: PETA Supporters Help Two Ailing Puppies<\/h2>\n<p>As the last animals were recovering from surgery, a woman approached and asked a PETA staffer to visit her home in the countryside. Word had spread that she loves dogs, so many had been abandoned on her property over the years. She said that she was doing the best that she could to care for them but was stretched far beyond her means. Our staffer made the journey to her home and found many dogs in poor health. To help, our staffer gave the woman food, treated the adult dogs, and even found a veterinarian still in the area after working at the clinic who took two sickly pups back to Canc\u00fan for treatment and possible adoption once they were well.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Puppies-on-their-way-to-Chichimila.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Puppies-on-their-way-to-Chichimila-602x293.jpg\" alt=\"Two ill puppies are loaded for transport to a vet at PETA\"\/><\/a>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How PETA Clinics Mitigate the Homeless-Animal Crisis<\/h2>\n<p>In just one year, an unspayed cat can give birth to 12 kittens and an unspayed dog can give birth to 16 puppies\u2014which means that PETA\u2019s Chichimil\u00e1 event could prevent the births of more than 1,800 animals in the next 12 months alone. On any given day in the U.S., there are roughly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/issues\/animal-companion-issues\/overpopulation\/spay-neuter\/\">70 million homeless animals<\/a>.
