With high hopes,
we began our SNiP program in February 2011. Even without advertising, the requests for help with spays and neuters has exceeded
our expectations. We are thrilled to have helped so many dogs and cats in need, but it has also exceeded our budget! For the
time being, we will be assisting with spays only until more funds are available. Our veterinarian clinics
who give us a great discount are also overwhelmed with so many appointments so we will be limiting each clinic to about 10
spays each per month plus very urgent needs. This will still keep us at over 30 spays per month and a budget of about $2250.00.
All spays will include a rabies vaccination if needed. To date, we have offered completely FREE services for over 150 surgeries.
With future applicants we will ask a nominal fee to help us keep this program alive on a case by case basis.
Please DONATE to help make the SNiP program a lasting success and end homelessness for animals, one
spay or neuter at a time!
Approximately
5 million unwanted animals will be
euthanized in the US in 2011. You cannot save them all but if you could save one dog or one
cat, would you?
Good News.... You Can. When you help SNiP spay or
neuter one animal, you actually prevent dozens (if not hundreds) of unwanted puppies or kittens from being born. When you
help one animal, you help many. This is the power of spay-neuter. It is the most effective way to reduce the number of homeless
animals. Slowly but surely, we will end this tragedy. OOTW SNiP Community Outreach SNiP stands
for Spay Neuter Program, which is exactly what we do! We hope
to assist anyone who needs financial assistance to spay or neuter a pet. Since OOTW's inception the prospect of a spay/neuter program has been near and dear
to our hearts... It is our desire that SNiP
will be a valuable asset to the animals, the pet owners, and the veterinarians. With your support we believe our program can
have a huge impact on our communities. The SNiP mission is to prevent the suffering and death of dogs and cats due to overpopulation and preventable diseases, to eliminate
the need for euthanasia in our community's animal shelters, to reduce the number of homeless animals, and to educate the public
about the importance of spay/neuter. SNiP volunteers share a dream for the future. We dream of the day when
animal shelters exist only as temporary safe havens for animals who have wandered away from their loving homes and are simply
waiting for their owners to reclaim them. There
are regions of our country that are close to realizing this dream, but Arkansas is not one of them. What

What can you do to stop the suffering? Spay and neuter your pet! In addition
to saving lives, spaying and neutering can also drastically improve your pet's health and life expectancy. The idea that pets
become fat or lazy when they are spayed or neutered is a myth. Sterilized pets lead healthier, longer lives. Spaying a female
eliminates the possibility of uterine and ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the risk of breast cancer. Neutering a male reduces
the risk of both prostate enlargement and prostate cancer. Neutering also will make your pet more affectionate and less likely
to roam, get in fights, or become lost. Prevent A Litter –
It’s Good for You Spayed
and neutered pets are better, more affectionate, companions. Neutered cats are less likely to spray and mark territory. Spaying a female dog or cat
eliminates its heat cycle, which can last twenty-one days, twice a year, in dogs, and anywhere from three to fifteen days,
three or more times a year, in cats. Females in heat often cry incessantly, show nervous behavior, and attract unwanted male
animals. Spayed
and neutered pets are less likely to bite. Unaltered animals often exhibit more behavior and temperament problems than those
that have been spayed or neutered.
Prevent a Litter - It's Good for Your Pet
Spayed
and neutered dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives. Spaying female dogs and cats eliminates the possibility of uterine
or ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the incidence of breast cancer. Neutering male dogs and cats reduces the incidence of prostate
cancer. Neutered
animals are less likely to roam and fight.
Prevent A Litter - It's Good for the Community
Communities spend millions of dollars to control and eliminate unwanted animals. Irresponsible
breeding contributes to the problem of dog bites and attacks. Animal shelters are overburdened
with surplus animals.
