A Few Words about Spaying/Neutering

Rose’s Rescue, along with every other shelter and rescue throughout the country, sees the unfortunate results of the pet over-population crisis on a daily basis.  There are simply too many unwanted dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens.  The single most effective way to address this problem is to have your pet spayed or neutered. It’s that simple.  Your pet will also be healthier for it (it will literally prevent some forms of cancer in both cats and dogs), and less likely to run away.  Spaying and neutering can even help your pet overcome some behavioral issues such as aggression, dominance, and territorial marking.  But don’t just take our word for it.  Check out the following organizations' websites for plenty of facts, figures and valuable insights into this issue: The NAFAAmerican HumaneThe SPCA

                                                                                   The McCormick Spay & Neuter Fund 
Thanks to a generous gift left to us by a Rose's Rescue adopter and through the cooperation of area spay/neuter clinics,  we have created a fund to help with the spaying/neutering of pets for those in financial need who cannot afford to pay the cost of the surgery.  Those interested will be required to complete a short registration form to be approved for the program.  Owners must be able to provide transportation of their pet to and from one of the clinics the day of the surgery.   

PLEASE NOTE: The McCormick Spay and Neuter Fund has been established to help those that may not have the financial means to have their pet fixed. We ask that those that are in need of our assistance only apply for this fund. We cover the costs through donations which also cover the costs of care and feeding of our rescue animals. Once the funds are exhausted we will be unable to help those in need. So please, if you are able to afford the cost of fixing your own animal, please do not use this form. You may contact the clinics yourself to set up an appointment.
