Spay Day 2010

In honor of Spay Day, held nationally on Feb. 23,  the Humane Society of the United States Veterinary Medical Association (HSVMA) has volunteered to perform surgeries at no cost for dogs and cats on Saturday, February 20 at the spay/neuter clinic at Monterey County Animal Services.

The Humane Society of the United State (HSUS) team will perform surgeries for pet owners from unincorporated Monterey County who are facing financial hardship.  HSUS has provided a generous donation of $5,000 to Monterey County Animal Services to spend on costs associated with the Spay Day surgeries, in addition to microchips, flea treatments, dewclaw removal, etc.

The surgery appointments for Feb. 20 have already been filled by referrals from Animal Control Officers, who see the need in the community.  Monies remaining will be directed to similar low cost surgeries in the future.  Anyone facing financial need who may qualify is asked to call 769-8850, ext. 1.
