Pet overpopulation has
become an overwhelming crisis in our community, with
hundreds of cats and dogs being euthanized annually in
our shelters while local feral populations
continue to skyrocket.
Spay and neuter programs are the ONLY
proven method for controlling unwanted breeding, helping to prevent and alleviate
animal suffering in a humane manner. We are
dedicated to improving the lives of the dogs and cats in
our community, including feral cats, which can be
trapped, neutered and released. Even one unwanted
litter is too much:
-
Two unaltered dogs and
all their descendents can number 67,000 in just six
years.
-
Two unaltered cats and all their descendents can number
470,000 in just six years.

Mission
Statement
The
goal of the JoCo Spay and Neuter Fund is to reduce pet
overpopulation and to eliminate killing as a way of
controlling the numbers of unwanted dogs & cats in
Josephine County.
This will be done by providing financial assistance to
low income animal-owners through our non-profit,
all-volunteer organization, which is funded solely
through donations and fund raising events.
The
Josephine County Spay and Neuter Fund is teaming up with local
veterinarians to make possible low-priced spay and
neuter fees, which will extend our funds to help more
needy people and pets.
Please,
next time you see your veterinarian, take a moment to
encourage him or her to get with the program!
