PRESS RELEASES - February 2008

February 14, 2008

Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic is Monday, Feb. 18
Appointments are Required!

Who: City of Arlington and the Texas Coalition for Animal Protection

What: To sponsor the Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic

When: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, February 18

Where: Arlington Animal Services, 5920 W. Pioneer Pkwy. Arlington, TX 76013

Why: Nationwide, more than 3 million animals are euthanized in shelters. Homeless animals are euthanized because there are more dogs and cats entering shelters than there are people willing to provide them with loving homes. Spaying or neutering your pet means that your animal won’t contribute to the population of unwanted animals.

Spay/Neuter Clinic will also offer low cost animal vaccinations.

Please note: Appointment is required. All animals scheduled for spay or neuter surgery are required to have written proof of a current rabies vaccine or receive the vaccine at the time of surgery by paying $5.

The Texas Coalition for Animal Protection is a nonprofit organization that serves to increase public awareness and understanding of issues affecting animal welfare. Learn more about the coalition at www.texasforthem.org.
