Spay Day USA – February 23, 2010
Want to be Pawfectly Fabulous? Join Spay Day USA!
When you look up the word "litter" in Webster’s Dictionary, the first definition is "heedlessly discarded trash." The second is "the animal young from a single birth." Sadly, this juxtaposition plays out in real life on a tragic scale. Every year in the United States along, millions of cats and dogs die because we fail to live up to our responsibilities toward them—in particular, the responsibility to spa or neuter to prevent accidental litters. Some one on the streets as strays; most are euthanized in shelters and pounds. (Reprinted from Animal Guardian Magazine, published by the DDAF.)
What is Spay Day?
Spay Day USA is our national campaign to end the killing of healthy, adoptable animals by promoting the benefits of spay/neuter.
More than 1 million cats, dogs, and other animals have been spayed or neutered since 1995, thanks to Spay Day USA participants.
Celebrate Spay Day with HSWC
Many local veterinarians will be joining the Humane Society of Wayne County and the Doris Day Animal Foundation in the celebration of Spay Day 2010.
The Humane Society of Wayne County is participating in Spay Day USA again this year. There will be one lucky winner for a free spay or neuter for their companion animal. To be entered into our drawing you must qualify through our Low Income Spay/Neuter Assistance Program and be a resident of Wayne County. Entry forms are available at the shelter.
For more details please contact the shelter at (315) 946-3389. The drawing will be held on February 23, 2010. Your entry must be completed and postmarked by February 20, 2010. You do not need to be present to win. The veterinarian you use must be located in Wayne County.
Therefore, if you know of an elderly friend on a fixed income or an unemployed neighbor or relative, or any other pet owner in need of some financial assistance to cover the cost associated with the spay or neuter of their pet, tell them about Spay Day, and enter them into the drawing. For more information contact the shelter at (315) 946-3389.
