In impoverished communities where traditional veterinary services are often unavailable, starving dogs and cats give birth to litters of offspring that cannot be fed. Illnesses and injuries go untreated, and the pain of these pets adds to the suffering of their owners.

 Pets suffer from poverty the same way their owners do. Without the means to provide proper care, pets can be vulnerable to disease, malnutrition, and abandonment. Dogs and cats in developing countries are particularly likely to suffer from neglect and poor health.

 ISNN is working diligently to establish a sustainable, sost-effective, socially responsible and humane solution for Jamaica's street animals. Our goal is to relieve pain and suffering associated with overbreeding through an island-wide spay/neuter program while simultaneously creating responsible owners and responsive communities through education.
