SpayKnox subsidized 2006 spay/neuter surgeries for cats and dogs in 2006. |
SpayKnox recently celebrated the achievement of a notable goal: subsidizing its 2,006th spay/neuter surgery in the year 2006. The Knox County, Tenn., animal welfare group works with local animal shelters to provide spay/neuter subsidies to low-income residents. The ultimate goal is to end the euthanasia of healthy animals by controlling the population of unwanted cats and dogs.
SpayKnox is able to subsidize the cost of spay/neuter surgeries through funds from charitable donations, foundation grants, corporate giving programs and fundraising efforts. The group will work with Knox County shelters to determine if the spay/neuter efforts of 2006 impact the numbers of animals surrendered to shelters in 2007.
