We concentrate our efforts in Wilson County - Lebanon, Mt. Juliet and Watertown but to date have visited the following counties: Cheatham County, Sumner, Davidson, Trousdale, Smith, Dekalb, Dickson, Lincoln, Perry, Rutherford, Knox, White, Williamson, Maury, Putnam, Robertson, Jackson, and Cumberland. Organizations in other counties cosponsor clinics in their area.
Some of their responsibilities include paying one half of our daily operating costs ($375), promoting the clinic, finding a location, and scheduling appointments.
To qualify for our services one must demonstrate financial need by participating in any of the following programs: food stamps, public housing, disability, WIC, Families First, SSI or Medicaid. Clients are asked to make a donation of whatever they can afford. Our goal is to sterilize those pets who, without our program, would never be spayed or neutered. Those cats and dogs that would be adding to the pet overpopulation problem which results in suffering and the continued need for euthanasia of healthy animals whose only crime was being born.
We greatly appreciate the donation of this gift through the McGavock fund managed by the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. Because of the late Patricia McGavock's compassion and generosity tens of thousands of kittens and puppies will not be born into a world where there are already far to many. |
