February Is National Spay & Neuter Month:How Charlotte Helps The Cause

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

Spay Neuter CharlotteFebruary is National Spay and Neuter Month and Charlotte, North Carolina is helping the the cause through the Spay Neuter Charlotte organization. Spay Neuter Charlotte's mission is to create a community where there are NO homeless animals. We all know, there are way too many unwanted (and as a result, homeless) dogs and cats out there and the primary cause stems from people's failure to spay and neuter their pets. If your dog or cat hasn't been spayed, please do your bit to keep the overpopulation of unwanted animals down and have them spayed or neutered this month.

 

If you can't afford to spay or neuter your dog or cat, Spay Neuter Charlotte offers a program for 70 free surgeries each month  for pet owners with limited means. And if you can afford to pay something, Spay Neuter Charlotte has the following "specials" during the months of February and March:

 

February Spay/Neuter Specials

  • Female Dogs: $89

March Spay/Neuter Specials

  • Female Dogs: $109
  • Male Dogs: $65
  • Female Cats: $50
  • Male Cats: $30

 

Spay Neuter Charlotte also sponsors a community Pet Food Pantry, offering free pet food for owners in need.

Good morning Nina. Nice job by the Charlotte area to offer this service and these costs to pet owners. There are lots of good reasons, but hopefully many take advantage.

Make it a great week!

Good morning to you, Joe Petrowsky. Spay Neuter Charlotte is a great charity in town, but little known. Interestingly, our County also helps out in this regard to keep the unwanted population of dogs and cats down. Have a great week yourself.

Hi Debbie Laity -- thanks. Unfortunately, here in the south there are still too many people who think there's something not natural about neutering dogs (especially). Not being from the south originally, I don't get it, but I've had friends who were raised here tell me it's a bit of "cultural" thing. The word to spay and neuter truly needs to be spread.

Hi Debbie Reynolds -- as with many things in life, it's amazing how we know "stuff" and yet people ignore the ramifications of not doing things like spaying and neutering. At least in Charlotte, there's no excuse to say "I can't afford it."

Hi George Souto -- the more we spread the word about spaying and neutering, hopefully the more people do "what's right" and help keep the homeless population of dogs and cats down.

Good morning, Bob Ratliff -- you are so right, spay and neuter month should be every month of the year. Fortunately, we have organizations like Spay Neuter Charlotte who keep up the good work all year round.

Nina, great post to remind those to get their pets neutered, especially if they roam the streets!

Joan Cox -- technically, it's against the law to have your dogs out unleashed in the Charlotte area... but that doesn't stop some people and I see cats walking around all the time.

Nina, I did this with my dogs. And not to make light of this, but I come across people all the time that in my opinion should be required to do the same!!

Nick Pappas -- your comment really made me laugh (but I agree with you at the end of the day).  We've also done this for our dogs and cats--nothing worse than to see one of them suffering in heat.
