Since July 2023, I’ve volunteered as a veterinarian at Triple A Marbella, helping around 600 cats and dogs awaiting a brighter future. My role includes performing professional, animal-friendly spays, advising on optimal procedures and equipment, and developing protocols and staff training to ensure the best care.
Spaying at a young age helps prevent future suffering for stray dogs, and it’s up to our community to make a difference!
