VSAP Is Here to Help
It’s kitten and puppy season, and soon shelters will be flooded with adult mothers and their offspring surrendered for adoption. More than three million cats and three million dogs find themselves in a shelter every year – either born in a shelter, surrendered, or abandoned (ASPCA, The Humane Society and dogster.com data).
For 48 years Valley Save-a-Pet has been helping pet parents obtain low cost spay/neuter services for their companion pets. Applications are now being accepted for the 2024 VSAP Have-a-Heart program.
If you or someone you know is interested in applying for a spay/neuter certificate for a companion pet, call 440-232-PETS (2287) and speak with a HAH volunteer. Phone lines are open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and the first Saturday of the month with the following exceptions for July, August and September when the line will be open on the second Saturday.
Modest added charges are required for any animal not current on vaccinations and for large dogs whose weight might require special anesthesia.
Spay/neuter services for feral cats to to help reduce the feral cat population are also available.
