What is it ?

BAN THE BIG BELLIES is ANGELS for ANIMALS participating event in the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) annual SPAY DAY.  A multi day event where we supplement the cost of 100 feline (50 male / 50 female ) and 60 canine (30 male / 30 female) spays/neuters for pets owners with financial hardship.  Owners will only have to pay a nominal fee that covers a small part of the spay and neuter only.  Other medical services will be available to these owners at regular price.  

Spays are strictly limited to funding received.

Vouchers for surgery go on sale Feb 1st and will be sold with respect to how much funding is available and becomes available until Feb 25th.

When is it ?

All spays and neuters will be scheduled for Feb 23, 24, 25. Most if not all cat surgeries will be on Feb 23.  Owners must be able to participate in one of these three scheduled dates or they will not be able to participate in the program, but are free to use any of other Angels low cost spay/neuter programs.

How is it funded ?

This program is being entirely funded on donations and fundraisers, like our Jan 24 pancake breakfast.  We will need to raise $6,650 to complete the full number of surgeries listed above.  If we raise more funding then we will issue more vouchers.

Sponsors are being sought and any person wanting to sponsor and entire section of the event can have their name or business put on all promotional materials for the event, including the website, flyers, handouts, receipts and any other materials released for the event.

(Facts and figures about pet overpopulation)

• More than 4 million homeless pets - about half the number of animals entering shelters each year - are put down.

• U.S. Shelters can't save and support the huge number of accidental litters, strays and family pets brought to their doors every day.

• Your pets puppies and kittens could be put down in a shelter.

• You can reduce these numbers by spaying or neutering your pets.

• Spaying (for females) and neutering (for males) are surgeries done by a veterinarian that stop animals from being able to reproduce.

• In the time it took you to read this so far, 4 pets were put to sleep.
