VAW Fights Pet
Overpopulation; Opens Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic
We’ve done
it! We’ve opened the spay/neuter clinic. Our efforts have already prevented
hundreds of unwanted cats and dogs from being born. We’re looking for
that number to be in the thousands. The only way to put an end to overpopulation
is by spaying and neutering.
The VAW SPOT (Stop
Pet Overpopulation Today) Clinic services are geared toward the "working
poor:" families who make less than $35,000 a year. These families may not
qualify for free services, but can’t afford the full price of a spay/neuter
at a veterinarian, so their pets often fall through the cracks and continue
to contribute to pet overpopulation.
If you are interested
in helping with the S.P.O.T. Clinic, please contact Tammy, Volunteer Coordinator,
at 990-5561. It takes a lot of volunteers to make this happen every month! If
you don’t have the time to volunteer and still want to be a part of this
rewarding effort, please make a donation today. You may send your donation to
VAW, P.O. Box 20061, Oklahoma City, OK 73156. Please write SPOT in the “for”
section of your check made out to Volunteers for Animal Welfare. You may also
call VAW’s office to make a donation via Mastercard or Visa at 405-842-6772.
