Help Fund a Spay and Neuter Clinic in Twentynine Palms

As many of you know, I have been volunteering with Palms N Paws Animal Shelter in Twentynine Palms, CA. This shelter has an intake per capita rate DOUBLE that of the national average. Largely, this is due to a lack of affordable, accessible spay/neuter access in the community.

For my birthday, I am raising money to host a spay/neuter clinic for community members in Twentynine Palms and Wonder Valley - towns where over 20% of the population are living below the poverty threshold.

A clinic will allow approximately 30 pets to be spayed/neutered. The clinic costs $4,000 to fully fund. Community members will be able to access this service for free or on a pay-what-you-can basis that would roll over to future clinics. Often people donate enough to roll over to 1-2 additional clinics from an initial fundraising effort.

Spay/Neuter saves lives and helps curb the pet homelessness crisis. This crisis puts undue pressure on shelter staff and rescuers as they scramble to try to stay afloat as more and more pets enter the shelter system. So many pet owners would spay/neuter their pets if they had access, so let’s help them.
