Some friends and I were talking about getting a program going for our community. There are two public low cost spay programs in a 100 mile radius that are open to everyone. All of the other programs require you to prove you are low income. That is fine and we understand that vet bills are the owner's responsibility BUT just one shelter...ONE shelter took in over 700 strays in November alone. Two of my area's main shelters took in over 1400 strays just in November. Our goal is to help take the load off our shelters.
We call it project "spay the stray away." It is aimed at EVERYONE, not just low income and for four surrounding counties. The basic idea is to railroad animals to participating/low cost clinics and back. We will be looking for vets that will tie tubes and such for those that wish to keep their animals whole or that "don't want to take away manhood."
What do you guys think? Any ideas on how to get started?
