Los Angeles And PETCO Make Spay Day And Microchipping Free
 Thursday, February 21st, 2008

As if there weren't enough reasons to already, here is yet another thing that makes us want to move to L.A.  We reported last week that Councilmember Richard Alarcón introduced the largest spay/neuter ordinance in the nation, which was unanimously approved by the Public Safety Committee.  And now, the LA Department of Animal Services, the Office of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, the Office of Richard Alarcon, the Amanda Foundation, and PETCO have all teamed up to offer you a gift:  FREE spaying, neutering, vaccinations, and microchipping for your pet(s).

How amazing is this?

In honor of National Spay Day, and in conjunction with the Mayor signing the aforementioned Spay/Neuter ordinance, Spay Day LA will give FREE spays, FREE neuters, FREE vaccinations, and FREE microchips (for if your furry friend ever gets lost), at an event that will be attended by former Price is Right host Bob Barker, and the President of the Humane Society (HSUS).

These are all people we want to hug.  And we also feel like flying to L.A. to get our kitties microchipped...why must Cali be so far away from Ohio?

The good news, though, is that if you are not in the L.A. area, there are also other Spay Day events around the country, just go here to the HSUS and enter your zip code to see how close an event will be to you.

If you will be in California for Spay Day, make sure to call the Amanda Foundation at 888-349-7388 to book your free spay/neuter, vaccination(s), and/or microchipping today!  It is all free of charge but they need to know what the turnout will be in advance for proper staffing, so please register ASAP!

If you have any additional questions about this event, please contact us and we will forward your questions to the appropriate people right away.
