“Since July was such a successful month, Southwest Arkansas Paws is extending its sponsorship of all animal adoptions at Nashville Animal Control through the month of August,” according to organizers.
All spay and neuter services will be provided free of charge.
Adoption will cost individuals $20 per dog and $10 per cat. Animals must be age-eligible to qualify for surgery.
Spay/neuter sponsorship does not include a general vet health check. While not required, SWA Paws recommends a vet visit at the individual’s own cost to ensure the new pet starts off on the right paw.
Thirty-nine animals were adopted in July (21 dogs and 18 cats); however, many are still looking for a home.
A total of 64 cats and 66 dogs were taken in during July, and 43 cats and 38 dogs died while in the shelter, whether from natural causes, disease or euthanasia.
Failure to spay or neuter pets results in overpopulation and ultimately death of many animals. “We at SWA Paws want to help the community do better. SWA Paws’ low cost spay and neuter clinics will be coming in the near future. In the meantime, adopt, don’t shop.”
