The activity aimed to promote responsible pet ownership and address the growing concern of stray animal populations through free neutering services.
Through the collective efforts of veterinarians, volunteers, and partner institutions, the event successfully neutered a total of 121 animals. USM SAVER students took part in various aspects of the operation, gaining valuable hands-on experience while assisting. Their participation not only supported the smooth conduct of the activity but also reinforced the importance of community-based veterinary service.
The organizers and all participants collectively extend their heartfelt gratitude to the Provincial Veterinary Office โ Davao del Sur for being a constant partner in these activities. Their guidance, expertise, and commitment greatly contributed to the safety and overall success of the operation. Special appreciation is also extended to Honorable Governor Yvonne R. Cagas for her continued support of animal welfare initiatives and for standing with organizations that serve the community. Sincere thanks are likewise given to OPAG for providing the venue and for their continued cooperation and support throughout the activity.
USM SAVER extends its sincere gratitude to the Zoophilist Animal Rescue Group for allowing the organization to extend its service to the community. USM SAVER also extends its sincere appreciation to our Alumna, ๐ฆ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ก๐ถ๐ฐ๐ผ๐น๐ฒ ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฎ, and to ๐๐ฟ. ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ถ๐น๐ผ ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฎ for their continued encouragement and for consistently welcoming the organization to participate in these activities.
This initiative aligns with USM SAVERโs goals of advancing veterinary education and giving back through meaningful outreach programs. The organization also strongly supports the message that neutering plays a vital role in controlling stray populations and upholding the One Health approach, which recognizes the interconnectedness of animal, human, and environmental health.
