Panajachel – Today an important milestone was met by the Healthy Pets fund-raising team. The first installment of a generous one-year grant with funds distributed quarterly was received from the estate of Dr. and Mrs. R.H. Davis.
Grandaughter Katie has enabled this grant and shared…
“This gift is in honor of Dr. and Mrs. R.H. Davis of St. Petersburg, Florida. My grandparents were adventurous people with a passion for Latin America and a love for dogs of all shapes and sizes. For nearly two decades my grandparents would take extended driving trips in their 1967 Rambler from Florida to Central America taking time to hand out books, talk with the local people, and feed animals they met on the streets. Their adventures took them through Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and many more countries. This gift honors that passion and their sincere hope that the animals and people in these amazing countries could live a life filled with comfort and hope.”
The contribution is specified for the sterilization clinics and ensures that all 16 clinics budgeted for 2008 can take place as planned.

I hope that more people can contribute to this worthy cause. I left Guatemala years ago and now live in the US where I volunteer at an animal rescuee organization. I wish everyone in Guatemala realized how important it is to care for their pets and animals and would contribute to organizations such as Helathy Pets.
