Spay and neuter is the only way! We shouldn’t spend time or money doing anything else!

Well, that’s not true at all, but there are still too many people who think that is the case. Widely available low-cost spay and neuter services are a critical part of the lifesaving program mix, but it is just one part of the recipe.

Given the challenges that lie ahead with an uncertain economy, we need to make sure every dollar goes as far as it can. We talked with Brittany Pace from Spay Memphis, and Alexis Pugh from Memphis Animal Services to learn about how their partnership ensures they are able to balance the needs of both getting animals out of the shelter, and keep them from coming in.
