This weekend ThePet.net co-founder Marc the vet will be travelling to Iquitos, deep in the Peruvian Amazon, to volunteer for a month with incredible charity AmazonCARES.org.
Marc will be mainly neutering dogs and cats to help control overpopulation, as well as treating routine health problems and also visiting local schools to talk with school-children about looking after pets.
AmazonCARES (which stands for Community Animal Rescue, Education and Safety) addresses vital topics important to a healthy community environment in Peru’s remote Amazon region.
These topics include animal welfare, human health, domestic violence prevention, humane education, conservation, environmental issues, respect for wildlife in their natural habitat, safety, responsible pet ownership and assisted animal therapy.
Why not follow Marc’s updates on twitter @marcthevet as he reports back from his adventures in the Amazon?!
