The number of cat lives that will be saved from preventing unwanted kittens is often totally hard to digest. A donation of any amount will truly make a difference! 80 CATS WILL BE STERILIZED The second half of our Trails UP team will be heading to Buchanan County to do free spay/neuter and Trap-Neuter-Return for 80 cats. PLEASE consider sponsoring a dog for this event and allowing us to truly change the life of a dog and the people who love him/her. And we hope to send all home with dog food, flea/tick meds and for those who need it – a dog house! The cost to us for this event comes to $120/dog – as we are providing these services totally free to the community. Every dog will be neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. We will be partnering with several groups to bring a mobile unit to Galax and bring these lifesaving and lifechanging services to these dogs.

As much of our Trails UP spay/neuter efforts have focused on cats due transport options and surgical availability, our hearts have been hurting as we see the shelters filling up with dogs & puppies and so many people desperately wanting to get their dogs neutered. Without this event many would face becoming pregnant and ending up in the local shelter with puppies. These animals are loved but have owners who simply cannot afford their surgery. We will be traveling to Galax where we have been working for months to secure 120 dogs who desperately need neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
