DHA offers FREE spay/neuter day for cats and dogs on February 28th

Posted on February 5, 2013

February is Spay/Neuter Awareness Month, featuring World Spay Day which falls on February 26th. Delaware Humane Association is celebrating this vital mission by holding a FREE spay/neuter surgery day for cats and dogs on February 28th to aid pet owners who are having financial difficulties.

This special opportunity is the second of two free surgery days funded by proceeds from the SPAY AWAY Costume Ball, which was held on October 12, 2012 in Arden, DE. The first was held in January 2013 and the schedule filled up fast, so pet owners who wish to take advantage of DHA’s remaining free surgery day are urged to act now to reserve a spot by calling (888) DHA-SPAY or (302) 571-0111.

The goal of the SPAY AWAY Costume Ball was to raise spay/neuter or emergency medical funding for three local animal welfare organizations (Delaware Humane Association, Forgotten Cats, and Response-a-Bull Rescue), in an effort to help reduce pet overpopulation in our community. The event raised nearly $12,000, resulting in a donation of more than $4,000 to support DHA’s Low Cost Spay/Neuter Program.
