The HSTC recently received a Community Foundation Grant to match funds to Spay or Neuter pets of Senior Citizens and needy families.  Many applications were received to fund the full cost of the spay or neuter of a Cat or Dog.  The HSTC was able to provide vouchers to 29 individuals and families to pay the full cost for Spaying or Neutering their pets!!!

 

Spay and Neuter Your Pets! 
Good for You, Your Pet, and the Community

  Prevent A Litter - It's Good for You

  • Spayed and neutered pets are better, more affectionate,
    companions.

  • Neutered cats are less likely to spray and mark territory. 
    Spaying a female dog or cat eliminates its heat cycle, which
    can last twenty-one days, twice a year, in dogs, and anywhere
    from three to fifteen days, three or more times a year, in cats.
    Females in heat often cry incessantly, show nervous behavior,
    and attract unwanted male animals. 

  • Spayed and neutered pets are less likely to bite. Unaltered
    animals often exhibit more behavior and temperament problems than those that have been spayed or neutered. 

  Prevent a Litter - It's Good for Your Pet

  • Spayed and neutered dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives.

  • Spaying female dogs and cats eliminates the possibility of
    uterine or ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the incidence of
    breast cancer. 

  • Neutering male dogs and cats reduces the incidence of prostate cancer. 

  • Neutered animals are less likely to roam and fight. 

  Prevent A Litter - It's Good for the Community

  • Communities spend millions of dollars to control and eliminate unwanted animals. Irresponsible breeding contributes to the problem of dog bites and attacks. Animal shelters are overburdened with surplus animals.
