Spay-Neuter Spots

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

There was an article in Sunday's Tribune about some shelters in the area and down in the corner there was this little snippet. I thought some of you rescuers might be interested. And the 800 number sounds like it's for everywhere, not just the Chicago area, but I haven't personally called it.
---------------------------
Several facilities offer low-cost spay/neuter clinics and vaccinations:
Animal Welfare League (Chicago) 773-667-0088
Anti-Cruelty Society (Chicago) 312-644-8338
Evanston Animal Shelter (Evanston) 847-705-2653
Luv-A-Pet/Petco Stores (Chicago) 773-935-7388
Luv-A-Pet/Petco Stores (Suburbs) 847-759-8700
P.A.W.S. (Chicago) 773-521-7729

You can also locate a low-cost spay/neuter clinic in your area by calling 800-248-spay.
--------------------------------

And some of these, like the Animal Welfare League, Anti-Cruelty Society and P.A.W.S. are nationwide, so you could see if they have a location near you and if that location offers the low-cost spay/neuters.

Is it just me or are shelters and the plight of these poor critters getting more attention these days in the paper? I thought maybe because spring is coming and they want to get the word out to have this done before everyone lets their pets run wild with spring fever.

here in lost angeles i saw a news report on a family who
had their pit bull 'fixed' on by a mobile neuter/spay clinic.

the pit bull died soon after the procedure (because of a pre-exsisting problem) which is why the story made the news....

i was bothered by the death of the animal, but i was pretty happy to see a low cost, mobile solution to the pet overpopulation problem....
