Why is it so important to reduce the number of homeless animals?
The key to alleviating the suffering and horror experienced by homeless animals is to first stop the senseless and tragic problem we have with companion-animal overpopulation and unplanned pregnancy among that group. To achieve 100% adoption rates at SPCA-BC shelters by 2012 requires an aggressive education campaign. SPCA-BC has a goal to be in every 7th grade classroom in Brazoria County within the next year. We also are conducting a feasibility study to determine where a spay/neuter clinic will be the most beneficial and how to raise the $100,000+ to open such a facility. Long-term funding of such a clinic will require even more fundraising and contributions from the community.
