Spaying or neutering your pets is a good idea for several reasons. It prevents unwanted animals, who end up at overloaded shelters or rescue organizations or worse, dumped on the streets to fend for themselves. But it also provides health benefits to the animals in question. It is agreed by veterinary organizations that spaying or neutering your companion animal can greatly reduce its risk of developing reproductive diseases down the road - uterine cancer, breast cancer, testicular and prostate cancer have all shown to decrease in older animals who were spayed when they were younger.
The next pre-pay and registration session for the Athens County Humane Society will be held on August 6th, 2009 from 5 to 6 PM at the Market on East State Street in Athens.
Those wishing to register and prepay should show up with the appropriate amount of money. Unfortunately we can take CASH ONLY.
If you are one of Athens County's many residents below the poverty level, do not fear - there is financial assistance available for those who qualify. Details and rates can be found here. When you come to register, please bring copies of the appropriate paperwork with you.
We look forward to seeing you there!
