The sterilization campaign at Centro di Bario Playa Pabao continues in August, offering pet owners in Aruba the chance to control dog and cat overpopulation through free sterilization, microchipping, and registration.

Campaign Success in Previous Months

The ongoing sterilization campaign at Centro di Bario Playa Pabao aims to address the overpopulation of dogs and cats in Aruba. Initiated in April, these efforts are organized by the Animal Welfare Alliance Aruba (AWAA) and Paws United Aruba (PUA), consisting of numerous local foundations dedicated to animal welfare.

During the campaign on August 3 and 4, PUA successfully sterilized 66 cats and dogs. The following weekend, on August 10 and 11, they sterilized an additional 92 animals. Each pet was not only sterilized but also microchipped and registered in the ‘Aruba Pet Registry,’ ensuring that they are accounted for in the central database.
