[CS Freecycle] ATTN: Kent County Shelter is doing FREE spay /neuter/rabies shots/licenses


ON PIT BULLS ONLY.....contact them at 616-897-8484


Hope someone here can get use of this. Seems like a good way to help control the breeding and not just put them down.

Espanola in NM is doing the same thing
Here in Clayton our vet has a cheap vaccination day too once a year. I love to see people go above and beyond in this way.

I had vet come to my house do rabies on 9 dogs. Clinic was weekend before and clinic was same charges but alot cheaper than my normal vet. I paid 25 service fee and 10 per vaccination where my normal vet charges office visit and vaccination of 18.00 usually runs 75-80 just because want rabies vac.

I'm very happy they're doing the free spay / neuter, but only on pits? Oh, are they they only breed that gets put to sleep in shelters now? Weird because I just pulled a beagle / pekinese mix, a 7 week old shepherd puppy, a terrier / chihuahua mix, and super sweet Dogo mix puppy, a shepherd / ACD mix puppy and a drop dead gorgeous red chow that were all due to be euthanized. But I guess we'll let those breeds be put to sleep because they don't wind up in shelters. Certainly don't need to worry about spaying or neutering them.

Good grief. What a way to make sure an excellent idea turns to crap.

I wouldnt think that way mrs. I have a Staff and think that "Pits" are the best breed out there and usually dont like things geared only towards them but if this works they may open it up to a community wide program for all dogs. Fingers crossed

I've got a pit too. She's awesome. I just don't think they should focus on only one breed. Spay / neuter is so important for all breeds. I certainly hope you're right and it does wind up being for all breeds.

I know our s/n clinic has offered the same in the past for pits. It's not that we discriminate against any other breeds, in the contray, we are actually targetting a population of owners that may not otherwise s/n their pit. Unfortunately, there are certain " (-) images" that go along with owning a pit. The more you can educate those owners the more good you do for the breed!
