Accomplishments
The following represents some of the examples of how our spay/neuter partnerships and funding are working to save the lives of homeless pets.
Grant aims to spay/neuter 10,000 puppies and kittens in June 2013 - Approximately 34% of dogs and cats in U.S. households are not spayed or neutered, yet the procedure is one of the most effective ways to prevent the birth of unplanned pets.
