Pets owners in Independence will have the chance to have their pets spayed or neutered from free this month.

 

The AWOL Animal Shelter along with Dr. Hailey Mueller are offering a free spay and neuter clinic in honor of Love Independence Day on April 25th. The clinic will take place at ICC West, located at 2615 West Main Street from 6am to 4pm. Cats and dogs will undergo the procedure for no cost.

 

One of the biggest reasons to have a pet fixed is to reduce pet overpopulation. Unplanned litters can contribute to millions of homeless animals every year. Many of these animals end up in shelters, and sadly, not all are adopted. Spaying and neutering helps prevent accidental litters and reduces the number of animals in need of homes. It is a responsible choice for both the pet and the community, helping prevent suffering and supporting public health.

 

The event happens on April 25th. The service is open to Independence residents only and an approved application and appointment are required. For more information, contact AWOL at 331-7931
