Event Date:
January 4, 2016 (All day) Nevada Humane Society wants you to ring in the New Year by making a resolution to neuter your male dog or cat during their Happy Neuter Year campaign. At this time, the only appointments left are for small, male dogs and male cats.
Sponsored by PetSmart Charities, the largest funder of animal welfare efforts in North America, the Happy Neuter Year campaign will provide a limited number of $20 neuter surgeries for male dogs and cats during the month of January.
Spaying and neutering is one of the most effective ways to reduce the homeless pet population and is safe for puppies and kittens as young as eight to 10 weeks old, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association.
“Neutering male pets is a simple surgery that reduces unwanted behaviors, like roaming, fighting, and urine marking territories,” says Denise Stevens, Operations Director for Nevada Humane Society. “It also guarantees your dog or cat never fathers a litter of puppies or kittens.”
This special $20 rate is available to all residents in Washoe County and Carson City but appointments are limited. Pet parents who wish to take advantage of this offer must mention the Happy Neuter Year campaign when they schedule their appointment. This campaign is based on availability. Weight limits of pets cannot exceed 100lbs.
Nevada Humane Society will provide 517 Happy Neuter Year sterilizations for $20 in January. Please visit www.NevadaHumaneSociety.org or call 775-856-2000 ext. 333 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
PetSmart Charities’ Happy Neuter Year campaign provides more than $733,180 to spay/neuter clinics to fund affordable, high-quality spay and neuter surgeries for more than 20,650 male dogs and cats across the nation during the month of January.
