The Humane Society of the Four Corners and the San Juan Animal League perform spays and neuters at reduced cost for eligible people.
Chained dogs, unvaccinated, and unsterlized pets result in roaming animals and bites. Worst of all, these animals add to the numbers of unwanted pets in shelters all over the country. Avoid pet heat cycles, unwanted litters of puppies or kittens, and the added expense of high-cost vet care by having your pet spayed or neutered.
Pets are an antidote to loneliness. Evidence shows that petting an animal can actually reduce stress and lower blood pressure. |
The Farmington Animal Shelter continues to cultivate our relationship with Petco by taking cats who get to stay at Petco until adopted. We also take our dogs to Petco's grooming facility on Saturday to have them "spruced up" before they go back to Petco on Sunday.
