STOP The Littering!

Please Spay/Neuter your pet!

Facts on Spay/Neuter

DID YOU kNOW? By allowing your cat to have just one litter, you ultimately are causing the deaths of 5-8 other kittens? Sure, your kittens might get homes, but what about those precious kittens that have been sitting for over a month at your local shelter? Chances are they won't be alive to see their 3rd month.

*Important Notice

Dog spay/neuter certificates are currently on hold. Dog owners have seriously taken advantage of this program and we are currently considering terminating dogs from this program. About 90% of the calls we get from dog owners stating they need help, have purchased their pets from breeders etc. Recently someone purchased a Yorkie from a breeder in Marion and then called us demanding we help alter the dog. Yorkies cost anywhere from $600-$1,000. Please don't take advantage of these programs. If you can afford to purchase a dog, you CAN afford to alter the dog. So many people think "well they have plenty of money they can help me too, that's what the money is for." It is this thinking that has caused us to deplete the funding we are able to offer pet owners in severe hardship. If you cannot afford spay/neuter costs for a dog, then  you shouldn't be purchasing a dog. You don't buy a Mercedes if you can't afford the payments. Most shelters offer dog adoptions for under $300. these dogs are generally not only altered but completely updated on all vet care. Not only will you be getting a great deal, but with so many dogs being killed each week, you'll be saving a life.

If you are in SERIOUS financial hardship, please contact us, but be prepared to bring the dog in for a visit.

Do you sometimes feel stray cats are starting their own colony right in your yard? If you are feeding stray cats please do the right thing by getting them altered so they won't have more litters. If you are willing help trap and continue to feed, we can offer you discounted spay/neuter services.

If you are a non-profit organization that offers discounted spay/neuter please send us your website so we can add a link.
