we all know that this is not the first conversation about a neglected dog or a dumped dog...but what kills me is the humane society and SPCA's all preach spay and neuter...even Bob Barker did in his famous closing line on the price is right...
But it still makes me shake my head when you call a typical vet to inquire about spay/neuter pricing, or call the SPCA. Everyone wants a FORTUNE for it...
I know I know...if you cant afford the vet you cant afford the pet right?...BUT when they got their pet they were employed and working great then the Auto ind happened...
In Toronto there was (i dont know if its still there) a vet clinic that does nothing more then spay/neuter and vaccines. thats it... the Vets and the techs have donated their time, all they charge is for the actual cost of supplies. they even have an assistance program where they can reduce the bill if you cant afford it. They expect you to volunteer to work off the bill, you may be moping floors, or cleaning runs, or kennels, helping with a fundraiser...
we need more of these places!
