Let your New Year’s resolution include $20 neuter surgeries for male dogs and cats
Young-Williams Animal Center’s Spay/Neuter Solutions wants you to ring in the New Year by making a resolution to neuter your male dog or cat during its “Happy Neuter Year” campaign for just $20.
Spaying or neutering is one of the most effective ways to reduce the homeless pet population and is safe for puppies and kittens as young as 8 to 10 weeks old, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association.
“Neutering male pets is a simple surgery that reduces unwanted behaviors like roaming, fighting and urine marking territories,” says Dr. Lisa Chassy, Young-Williams Animal Center director of Spay/Neuter Solutions. “It also guarantees your dog or cat never fathers a litter of puppies or kittens.”
This special rate is available to residents of Knox and surrounding counties. Pet parents who wish to take advantage of this offer must mention the “Happy Neuter Year” campaign when they schedule their appointment.
Appointments will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis at either the Young-Williams Spay/Neuter Solutions Clinic at 6400 Kingston Pike or on the organization’s Spay Shuttle.
The Spay Shuttle is a mobile surgical clinic funded through an Aslan Foundation grant to increase access to low-cost surgeries.
The shuttle visits areas considered high-risk for stray pick-ups and owner surrenders to the shelter, based on data from Knox County, Knoxville Animal Control and Young-Williams Animal Center.
Please call 865-215-6677 to schedule the surgery or visit http://www.young-williams.org/spay-neuter-your-pet/ for more information.
