Cozumel Humane Society

For many of us, the last thing we think about when we’re on vacation is volunteering.  I mean, sure, there are volunteer tour groups that go off to do good all over the world, but it’s a select few who choose to spend their off-time working for someone else.

I’m on a vacation in Cozumel, and the group I’m with organized a trip to the humane society to do some work for the animals.  It was too heartbreaking for me to actually go, but I thought I’d check out the organization and see what it was about.  Not surprisingly, it does good things.  For instance:

• The society receives around 40 animals each week, and works to place them with homes.
• The society provides information about the treatment of the horses used to pull carriages of tourists around the streets of Cozumel
• The society helps hotels to manage feral colonies of cats; spaying and neutering and adopting them out in some instances.

If you would like to support the society’s work, you can donate online via their website.
