RESOURCES FOR PET OWNERS
Keeping You and Your Pet TOGETHER
Spaying and Neutering / Low-Cost Veterinary Clinics
Spaying and neutering your pets prevents pet overpopulation, which saves the lives of millions of unwanted animals. While there is an upfront cost, preventing diseases and unplanned litters often saves more money in the long run compared to the cost of supporting offspring and the potential medical costs for an unsterilized pet.
And it doesn’t have to cost a lot. Consider these nonprofit low-cost veterinary clinics. These clinics serve the community by specializing in sterilizing companion animals, AND provide basic vet care like vaccinations and medications for common illnesses. (They do not perform complex treatments like setting broken bones or diagnosing cancer.)

Re-homing Assistance
"A house is not a home without a pet."
If you cannot give a pet the home it deserves, then rehoming is the best option.
Life is unpredictable and can cause unforeseen circumstances. Perhaps there is a severe health issue in the family, a financial hardship, or a pet owner's death, as examples. In that case, these options may help by giving you tips and resources for advertising your pet and selecting the best adopter for your pet.

• Use any and all of your community contacts.

• Post flyers at veterinarian offices.
