Vets from RSPCA Queensland, accompanied by a team of veterinary students, visited Cherbourg recently as part of the charity’s Visiting Vet Program.<\/p>\n

It is the RSPCA’s second visit to Cherbourg, following up on a desexing program which was run in conjunction with Cherbourg Council last year.<\/p>\n

Community vet Bronte Millman said there had been a decline in the number of unwanted animals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it really highlights the importance of the program and how much it is actually helping the community,\u201d Ms Millman said.<\/p>\n

A total of 27 surgical procedures were performed and 20 microchips were implanted.<\/p>\n

Two dogs were also surrendered and have since been rehomed by the RSPCA.<\/p>\n

RSPCA Queensland Community Project Specialist Nanda Ten Grotenhuis said it had been a successful couple of days.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a sense of great co-operation between all the different teams, and it felt so good to make a difference to pets and their owners in the Cherbourg community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The RSPCA is also currently running it annual Operation Wanted discounted desexing program across the State.<\/p>\n

Discounted pet desexing is available until August 31 at participating vets. Register online<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
