SNIPSA’s Big FixJanuary 23, 2010

by For Paws Co-Directors

SNIPSA held a Big Fix spay/neuter event to benefit the dogs and cats in the 78228 zip code area.

A big thanks to Fr. Chris Janson, S.M. of Holy Rosary Catholic Church for allowing the event to be held on church grounds.

Residents began lining up with their animals at 7 AM for the free spay/neuter/vaccinations/microchips.

Two check-in stations served preregistered owners.

There were dogs of all shapes and sizes, from small…

to extra large.

Cats arrived in a variety of carriers, including pillow cases, bags, and a hamster cage.

Dogs were placed in the pre-surgery room with identifying paperwork.

Cats were on the opposite side of the room.

A complete veterinary surgery suite was set up in a separate room.

And surgery began.

To accommodate the cats, another surgery site was created in the recovery room.

And cat surgery began…

And continued until all cats were fixed.

After a brief recovery, the cats…

and dogs were sent home with their happy owners.

And a new generation learns about responsible pet ownership.

Not the end, but the beginning of a new life for 150 pets.
