Helping Hurricane Harvey Animals

By SpayNeuterNetwork | 31.07.2019

Spay Neuter Network was contacted on Sunday, August 27th by the Texas Animal Health Commission and asked to deploy to Corpus Christi the following day to assist in the treatment of injured animals in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. However, late Sunday evening we received a call from TAHC asking us to stand by as they were not yet able to determine a safe passage to the area for our Hope Mobile.

The Hope Mobile, a mobile surgical hospital bus capable of holding up to 50 animals, is ideal for triage, treatment and surgery for injured and ill animals in disaster situations. As the only group in North Texas with a bus of this kind, we are uniquely able to assist animals right where disaster strikes, such as when we joined first responders to provide medical care to animals impacted by the deadly Canton, TX tornado.

Spay Neuter Network is still on stand by and expects to deploy to be of assistance in some manner in the gulf region in the upcoming weeks. We are eager to be of assistance, however, we believe it is critical that we wait for an official assignment in the midst of the chaos following the storm to ensure we do not inhibit efforts. We will continue to post updates on our efforts to assist with Hurricane Harvey on our Facebook page and here on our website as status and needs related to the disaster change by the hour.

Thanks to the support of animal lovers like you, we are always ready to jump into action and travel to areas where the animals need us most. Thank you for supporting Spay Neuter Network’s lifesaving programs, including our disaster response efforts.

SPAY NEUTER NETWORK RECEIVES $160,000 GRANT

By SpayNeuterNetwork | 12.02.2019

North Texas – February 12, 2019 – Spay Neuter Network (SNN) today announced it received a $160,000 grant from PetSmart Charities, the leading funder of animal welfare in North America, to help fuel its spay and neuter efforts in North Texas. Funding from this grant will support programs to help pet owners who otherwise could not afford sterilization and basic vaccinations for their pets.

More specifically, this funding will bolster monthly programs focusing on dogs, cats and specific breeds that have the highest risk for overpopulation and shelter crowding.

Providing more than 28,000 surgeries annually, Spay Neuter Network is the largest free and low cost spay/neuter provider in the North Texas region, and this funding will extend the organization’s reach even further.

“Thanks to this grant, we will perform more than 3,000 spay/neuter surgeries over the next year. We would like to thank PetSmart Charities for their support in making this project a great success,” said Jacob Carty SNN Communications Director.

“Accessible spay and neuter services continue to play an important role in fighting pet homelessness,” said Deborah Turcott, acting president of PetSmart Charities. “PetSmart Charities’ continued support of Spay Neuter Network fosters availability of this great community resource. Since 2005, PetSmart Charities has awarded over $1.6 million in grants to SNN to provide subsidized spay and neuter surgeries and basic wellness care to North Texas pet families.”

PetSmart Charities aims to proactively prevent pet homelessness. Since 1994, the organization has granted more than $100 million to support spay and neuter efforts across the United States.

FREE Pet Microchip Clinic for Dallas Dogs and Cats

By SpayNeuterNetwork | 20.04.2018

Spay Neuter Network announced today it has been awarded funding from the Banfield Foundation and PetSmart Charities® to support its microchipping efforts in Dallas. As of June 2017, microchipping is mandatory for all dogs and cats four months or older in the city.
To bring awareness and help pet owners comply with the law, Spay Neuter Network will be holding a free microchip clinic. Affordable vaccines will also be available.

Microchips dramatically increase the odds of a pet returning home to their owners if they’re ever lost: dogs are 2.4 times and cats are 21.4 times more likely to be reunited with their owner if they’re microchipped.

SPAY NEUTER NETWORK RECEIVES $200,000 FROM PETSMART CHARITIES TO FUEL SPAY AND NEUTER EFFORTS IN NORTH TEXAS

By SpayNeuterNetwork | 09.03.2018

Spay Neuter Network today announced it received $200,000 from PetSmart Charities, the largest funder of animal welfare in North America, to help fuel its spay and neuter efforts in North Texas.

Providing 24,5000 surgeries annually, Spay Neuter Network is the largest free and low cost Spay/Neuter provider in the North Texas region and this funding will increase the organizations reach even further. This funding will go toward programs to help pet owners who otherwise could not afford sterilization, basic vaccinations and medication for their pets including rabies vaccines, flea medication and microchips.

A portion of the grant will also fund a partnership with SNN and Dallas Animal Services to save Dallas community cats. Free-roaming, unowned cats that are brought to the shelter by citizens or Animal Control Officers are transferred to SNN’s Southern Dallas Clinic where they are vaccinated, sterilized, and painlessly ear-tipped for easy identification in the field. The following day, after they have recovered from surgery, they are released back where they were found to live out their natural lives without reproducing or spreading disease.

“These cats are unadoptable, so they are at serious risk if they enter the shelter,” said Jacob Carty. “Rather than putting these cats at risk of euthanasia and crowding the shelter, this program utilizes a proven solution, called trap/neuter/return or TNR, to save the cats’ lives.”

PetSmart Charities aims to proactively prevent pet homelessness through increased spay and neuter efforts. With the help of animal welfare partners, such as Spay Neuter Network, PetSmart Charities has funded over 1.7 million spay and neuter surgeries in the U.S. since 2009.

Spay Neuter Network Receives Funding from PetSmart Charities to Save Dallas Cats

By SpayNeuterNetwork | 09.03.2018

Spay Neuter Network (SNN) is pleased to have received a grant from national animal welfare organization PetSmart Charities for its innovative Dallas Community Cat Return-to-Field Program which helps the City of Dallas humanely manage the area’s community cats and decrease its euthanasia rate.

In partnership with Dallas Animal Services (DAS), free-roaming, unowned cats that are brought to the shelter by citizens or Animal Control Officers are transferred to SNN’s Southern Dallas Clinic where they are vaccinated, sterilized, and painlessly ear-tipped for easy identification in the field. The following day, after they have recovered from surgery, they are released back where they were found to live out their natural lives without reproducing or spreading disease.

“These cats are unadoptable, so they are at serious risk if they enter the shelter,” said Jacob Carty, SNN spokesperson. “Rather than putting these cats at risk of euthanasia and crowding the shelter, this program utilizes a proven solution, called trap/neuter/return or TNR, to save the cats’ lives.”

By releasing the cats back into their original neighborhoods, TNR prevents what is known as the “vacuum effect” – because cats are territorial animals, when a cat is removed several more cats will move in to compete for its territory resulting in an increase in unaltered cats in the area. By altering and vaccinating the original cat, TNR helps to prevent the vacuum effect, cat overpopulation, and the spread of disease. Additionally, once cats have been altered, they stop nuisance behaviors such as marking, yowling, and fighting for territory.

“Thanks to this grant, we will perform 800 spay/neuter surgeries on community cats over the next year. We would like to thank PetSmart Charities for their support in making this project a great success.”

In order to be eligible for this program, cats must be unowned outdoor cats within the City of Dallas. For information on having your owned cat or non-Dallas community cat affordably altered and vaccinated, please click here
