Happy World Spay Day

This is a day of hope, of working together, of education and compassion. Launched in 1995, World Spay Day is an annual campaign that aims to encourage people to save animal lives by spaying and neutering companion animals and feral cats.

At Homeward Pet, we are proponents of spay/neuter as a key solution to the challenges of pet overpopulation. All animals that leave our doors are spayed and neutered as a part of the comprehensive veterinary care that we provide while they are with us.  Over 3 million cats and dogs are still euthanized annually in shelters, due in large part, to a global inability to adequately feed and house that many animals.  Consider the costs incurred for your own pet and multiply that by 3 million. That is the burden that shelters across the United States are expected to bear.

In addition to spaying/neutering every animal in our shelter, Homeward Pet also participates in several outreach programs to help our community:

• With our Last Litter Program, we are able to offer free spay and neuter surgeries for cats and dogs brought to our shelter with adoptable litters. Through the Last Litter Program, the adult cat or dog is be spayed or neutered at no cost, and then returned home. The kittens or puppies remain with Homeward Pet to be examined by our veterinarian, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before being adopted into new families. Appointments are required, and assistance is dependent on available space and resources. Learn more >>> https://www.homewardpet.org/last-litter-program/
• Every Monday, we open our clinic doors for a public spay/neuter day where we offer low-cost spay/neuter surgeries for dogs and cats of reduced income families in our community. With the help of loyal donors, we are able to offer these services at low to no cost.
