March is Fix Your Pet month and the SPCA St. John’s is encouraging the public to spay or neuter their pets and help reduce the number of unwanted animals in their communities.
Every year, the SPCA St. John’s is faced with the task of finding homes for hundreds of cats and dogs, many of these from unwanted litters. For every litter that comes into the Adoption and Resource Centre, there are even more that end up living outdoors where they fall victim to neglect and abuse. Protecting your pet by having them spayed or neutered can help reduce that number and make Newfoundland & Labrador a safer place for cats and dogs.
Spaying or neutering pets has many other benefits:
The SPCA St. John’s needs your help to combat pet overpopulation. We currently spay and neuter the animals in our Adoption and Resource Centre prior to adoption. We also operate a public spay and neuter assistance program (SNAP).
In 2016 we spayed and neutered over 1200 animals!
Battling overpopulation comes at a cost. We are asking for your help during Fix Your Pet Month. Please make a donation and help “Spay it Forward” to another animal in need.
Our goal is to raise $5,000, which will spay and neuter 100 animals!
