A critical SPCA fund providing free or low cost spay/neuters to economically challenged pet owners in Santa Cruz County.
According to the Humane Society of the United States, there are between eight and ten million cats and dogs entering American shelters every year. Four to five million of these animals are euthanized.
Even with a mandatory spay/neuter ordinance many people in Santa Cruz still do not spay/neuter their pets, especially during times of economic hardship. This program is aimed at fighting pet overpopulation and preventing animals from ever entering shelter doors.
