(GIG HARBOR, WA, February 12, 2007) – Get ready for the first low cost spay/neuter clinic to open in Pierce County. In order to stop the killing of over 10,000 pets per year, a coalition of local animal welfare groups plans the startup of a model spay/neuter clinic to address pet overpopulation. Pierce County’s first low cost spay/neuter clinic will provide surgeries for at least 6,000 dogs and cats per year.
The coalition believes the clinic operation will have a significant impact on the area’s pet overpopulation problem. “Coalition: HUMAnE” was formed by Peninsula Spay/Neuter Project and the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County. Puyallup Animal Rescue is also a member and other organizations are expected to join the effort.
With Peninsula Spay/Neuter Project as the lead agency, an application has been approved for acceptance into the Humane Alliance National Spay/Neuter Response Team (NSNRT) program. The vision of the NSNRT is the strategic placement and implementation of targeted, high-volume, high-quality, low-cost spay/neuter clinics nationwide.
Spaying and neutering is the most effective solution to pet overpopulation. It is also non-lethal. “Our goal is to start a clinic at the lowest cost possible to serve the largest number of animals, therefore making an immediate impact on shelter intakes and euthanasia,” said Patty Rusnak, PSNP Director. Inquiries and donations to Coalition: HUMAnE are welcome. Please call 253.884.1543 for more information.
