SPCA of Texas Joins Metroplex Animal Coalition (MAC) to Offer Free Spays/Neuters for Pets of Low-Income Families

WHAT:
The SPCA of Texas is once again teaming up with the Metroplex Animal Coalition (MAC) to offer free spay/neuter surgeries for the pets of low-income families. Beginning July 1, 2007, all dogs and up to four cats per household from 14 specific zip codes are eligible, subject to available funding.


Qualifying zip codes are: 75203, 75211, 75212, 75216, 75217, 75224, 75227, 75228, 75232, 75233, 75236, 75237, 75241, 75253.

Appointments are required and recipients will be asked to sign an statement that they make less than $35,000 a year and live in one of the zip codes included in this offer.

The special is funded by the Metroplex Animal Coalition (MAC), an alliance of 501(C)3 animal welfare organizations in Collin, Dallas, Denton and Tarrant counties who wish to reduce euthanasia of dogs and cats in local shelters.

The promotion includes rabies vaccination and post operative pain medication at no charge. Any additional veterinarian or vaccination expenses incurred are the responsibility of the pet owner.

WHY:
If left intact, a companion animal can produce an unlimited number of offspring in his or her lifetime. Sadly, shelters in the four-county D/FW area euthanize an estimated 200,000 dogs and cats every year. Spaying and neutering lessens the chances of a pet developing cancer, reduces roaming tendencies and decreases the pet’s urge to mark.

WHEN:
Began July 1, 2007 and offer is subject to available funding.
Cats must be in carriers and dogs on leashes.

SPCA of Texas Martin Spay/Neuter and Animal Wellness Clinic
362 S. Industrial Blvd., Dallas, TX 75207
