Our primary objective in offering spay/neuter clinics is to reduce the number of kittens and puppies that end up homeless or in our local shelters.
We’ve held nine low-cost spay-neuter clinics at the Duke Marine Lab, in collaboration with the Pet Overpopulation Patrol–NC out of Chapel Hill (www.pop-nc.com/info). We successfully raised funds in 2009 to subsidize the cost of surgeries by $20 per pet. Encore Pets also covers gas for the mobile unit and lodging for the veterinary staff. The huge demand from the public for these clinics demonstrates the pressing need for these services in our area. Encore Pets is the only non-profit animal welfare organization offering low-cost spay/neuter services to our community. We just held a three-day clinic in June 2010, spay/neutering another 89 dogs and cats. Due to a successful spring fundraiser, we were able to subsidize the cost of surgeries by $20 per pet again. We hope to offer the Carteret County residents low-cost spay/neuter services via POP-NC at least once more in 2010.
