Here’s the truth: We’ve had our sights set on Santa Marta for years. Three years, actually. Way back in 2019, we had ambitiously planned not one, but two spay/neuter campaigns – one in Cartagena and one in Santa Marta. Let’s just say we were new back then, and didn’t have enough eyes on our initiatives to be able to run two campaigns in a 6 month period. Cartagena happened, Santa Marta would just have to wait. Until now.
November 17 – 19, 2023 marks HOLA’s 4th sterilization campaign. This gorgeous coastal city is rich with history (it’s the second oldest city in South America!), nature and things to do. When you arrive in Santa Marta, you’ll see a welcome sign that states, “here you can have it all”
This is a popular tourist city, with nearby Tayrona National Park drawing visitors from around the world. There is a persistent pet overpopulation issue here and our community partners in the area have long been seeking assistance. When we help the animals, we help the community, providing a One Health/One Welfare approach.
Our Santa Marta Sterilization Campaign has a goal of spaying and neutering 300 dogs and cats within a 3 day period. We will be working with local veterinarians, and 9 rockstar international volunteers.
We are a non-profit organization founded in Canada and operating in Colombia. We focus on raising funds for sterilization campaigns for dogs and cats, engaging international volunteers, and thus helping to reduce animal overpopulation.
