Montgomery County, TX, December 10, 2013 – Montgomery County residents on public assistance or Social Security can have their male dogs between 3 and 10 months of age sterilized or “Zeutered” at no cost on Sunday, December 22, thanks to a partnership between Montgomery County Spay Neuter Project, Texas Litter Control, Ark Charities, and Precinct 4 Commissioner, Ed Rinehart. The “Zeuter” event will be held December 22 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Sallas Park Show Barn 21675-C McClesky Rd, New Caney, TX 77357.
50 dogs will be a Zeutered for people who are on public assistance or Social Security. Dog owners who are on disability, Social Security, unemployment, or food stamps will be eligible to participate.
“Zeutering” (using Zeuterin™) is an FDA approved, non-surgical procedure that renders male dogs sterile and is safe, effective and permanent. To learn more about the Zeutering procedure, go to www.arksciences.com.
“We’re pleased to be working with Texas Litter Control and Ark Charities in this effort to address our pet population problem in East Montgomery County” said Nancy Richards, President of Montgomery County Spay Neuter Project.
The Zeuterin procedure for male dogs between 3 to 10 months, DA2PP, and rabies vaccination are free, however, donations are appreciated. Expenses are underwritten by the Montgomery County Spay Neuter Project and Ark Charities. The suggested donation is $10. All proceeds will go towards the cost of future low and no cost sterilization days in Montgomery County. Donations can be made to Montgomery County Spay Neuter Project, PO Box 130211, The Woodlands, TX, 77393 or online at mcsnp.org.
“The Zeuterin procedure is less invasive and excellent for those who do not agree with castration of male dogs,” explains Deana Sellens, Executive Director of Texas Litter Control. “The dogs are lightly sedated and there is less risk of a reaction to the anesthesia. It also allows us to go into seriously underserviced areas where low cost solutions are just not available.”
Dog owners who want to have their dog Zeutered during the Sunday, December 22, 2013 event are asked to contact Texas Litter Control at 832-510-7622 to schedule an appointment. This program is limited to the first 50 dogs. Appointments are Required!
The Zeuterin procedure is also offered to the general public at the Texas Litter Control clinic. Visit http://texaslittercontrol.org/non-surgical-sterilizatio/ for a list of prices.
