We don't even register our dogs - let alone have a microchip system. The SAGA society is our humane society. It is a non-profit organization and has a small core staff plus a lot of volunteers. SAGA relies mainly on donations, fundraisers and volunteers. Without SAGA there would not be a full time vet on the island. We have a small dog shelter that can only house a finite numbers of pups at a time and the currently the cattery is situated in the clinic, which is also the vet's home.

SAGA will always gladly take donations of any type, money, pet food, pet accessories, medications, bandages etc. as well as hoping to get a volunteer's time to help walk the animals and play with them.

FOTHS (friends of the humane society) is an organization that is focusing on fundraising to assist SAGA not only in its long term goals but from time to time it will also host specific fundraisers in order to assist with funding for day to day operations, maintenance etc.

The government of Belize doesn't organize or assist with SAGA - although I think it might supply the rabies vaccines from time to time.
