Pet Orphans -
SPOT has a Pet Orphans service that allows the general public to advertise their pets they want to give up on the Pet Orphans website if they will make a minimum contribution of $35 to SPOT - Stopping Pet Overpopulation Together. SPOT will use this money to help fund it's indigent spay/neuter fund, which pays to spay/neuter pets when their guardians can't afford to do so. The $35 contribution will allow them to keep a picture/description of their pet on the website for up to 3 months. The pet must be already spayed/neutered (this includes puppies and kittens), have had all their shots, be heartworm free, etc. We will call their vet to verify that all above has been done.
