Spay or neuter your animals please.
We love our animals. Sometimes doing what is best for them, is difficult. No one enjoys putting a healthy animal through an operation of any kind. But if you consider the facts, spaying and/or neutering a pet is a healthy choice for your animal.
The best time to spay or neuter is at a young age (six to nine months). But any healthy animal will have little problem with the procedure. Ask your veterinarian what is appropriate for your pet.
We at TARPS, would love it if you put us out of the business of finding homes for unwanted litters. Being a no-kill shelter, it makes us sad to turn away animals because of our limited space. We know many of those turned away will be killed or euthanized.
Here are some opportunities to do a great thing for your pet.
Springfield Humane Society is offering spay/neuter clinics on Tuesday, May 10 & June 7 in Springfield, VT and Tuesday, July 19 in Charlestown, NH
If cost is a factor for you, these clinics are offered for low-cost, $30 for neutering and $35 for spaying.
Please call the Springfield Humane Society shelter (802-885-3997) to set up appointments and find the locations. They would also be happy to address any questions or concerns you may have regarding the procedure.
