NEUTERING
With money so tight at the moment it
may be worth keeping an eye out for the subsidized NEUTERING offers that may be
available in your area, or soon to appear. Neutering is realistically the only
way to help control the large number of neglected and unwanted animals. The
health and life expectancy of NEUTERED PETS can be years longer than
non-neutered pets and with less medical issues.
