Bend Spay & Neuter Project

20,000th Surgery

On February 1st, 2010, Bend Spay & Neuter Project performed its 20,000th surgery.  The proud recipient was Specter, a seven month old long hair, black kitty.  In continuing with the mission, “to end pet homelessness in Deschutes County by providing low and no cost spay and neuter services,” Bend Spay and Neuter has asked the public to, “help us stop the cycle of unwanted animals and unnecessary killing.”

Each day, 10,000 humans are born in the U.S., compared to 70,000 puppies and kittens born daily.  With birth rates such as these, there will never be enough homes for the animals.  So, 4 to 6 million animals end up euthanized, while millions more live on the streets.

Before the Snip

Bend Spay & Neuter Project uses the highest quality anesthesia and pain management available.  Each individual animal is treated with the highest regard at their clinic.  All dogs are given fluids post surgery, ears checked and cleaned, nails trimmed and vitals monitored by caring volunteers.  Bend Spay & Neuter also performs vaccinations and microchip implantation.

Bend Spay & Neuter Project is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization.

On a side note, our Malamute-Wolf (don’t tell anyone about the wolf part though please ) mix Kona had is surgery yesterday and I am pleased to say that everything went extremely well! The entire staff was beyond caring and friendly. We highly recommend this wonderful clinic!
