The Placencia Humane Society (PHS) is a private Belize not-for-profit, volunteer organization that works to safeguard the health, safety and welfare of domestic animals on the Placencia Peninsula and surrounding communities.
Over the years, Chabil Mar has been an avid sponsor of PHS and has assisted the organization to provide a high standard of health and welfare for domestic animals in the area.
“Donating to PHS is part of our corporate social responsibility,” says Chabil Mar’s Marketing Manager Larry France who believes that every business should engage and adopt policies to contribute to the Peninsula’s sustainable development.
“PHS is an active organization that provides medical treatments at no cost to animals and the more donations it receives, the more animals can be saved,” states France.
Homeless animals that are found in Placencia are cared by PHS at no cost and from time to time the organization has pets available for adoption.
The organization ensures that it carries out the following duties and responsibilities on a daily basis:
(i) donation-only spays and neuters
(ii) facilitating availability of regular veterinary care
(iii) providing veterinary care and foster homes for abused, injured and homeless domestic animals
(iv) coordinating trapping, neutering and releasing of feral cats, and
(v) educating communities about compassion and responsibility for all animals
“Another aspect of our corporate social responsibility (CSR) is to encourage our guests to spend time in Placencia Village by meeting the locals, visit their shops, eat at their restaurants and experience the eclectic culture of Belize first hand at their leisure and schedule,” added France when asked about other CSR that Chabil Mar practices.
