Sydney was once an un-owned street dog living in El Centro Cotacachi but through the Amici Cannis Street Dog Sterilization program, she was spayed, immunized, and microchipped before being returned to Cotacachi as one of our free-roaming Community Dogs!

Amici Cannis is committed to providing all of the veterinary care that is needed for our community owned dogs.  So, when Sydney was discovered one day by a local community member, laying in a ditch, with complete tears of her skin on her back legs that exposed her tendons and unable to walk, the hospital was contacted. 

Amici Cannis dispatched our Amici Cannis Transport (ACT) and technician to rescue Sydney and bring her to the hospital for treatment. Thanks for the funding from our Community Dog Fund, we were able to provide Sydney with the best medical care and make sure she wasn’t suffering. 

After treatment by our wonderful doctors for several days, Sydney was able to walk again and began her healing process.  She is expected to make a full recovery with the help of Amici Cannis, even though her rehabilitation will be a long process.  Sydney has a loving temperament and is grateful for the help of the hospital team!
