Being so closely involved in our local shelter and rescue community, I know how vital community programs are as a step in keeping pets with their families! So many places now offer low-cost spay and neuter (this is crucial!), as well as other support offerings to help with pet food or even veterinary care. Shelters do NOT want you to surrender your animals and many are now working to make the shelter a true last resort. This is a new page and I'm sure I will be adding resources as I am able to learn more about them, but feel free to share with anyone you know who may be in need of these services. If you know of a resource I should add, please contact me.
