We have a special 3 day spay/neuter event August 10-12th, set up is on August 9th. The event provides low cost spay/neuter to pets of low income families that need help to stop the homeless pet over population problem in Michigan.

What can I do to help?

There are primarily 2 ways to help, volunteering or donating items. Read on for more details!
