Fight Pet Overpopulation
Six million dogs and cats are turned in to animals shelters around the country. Some are lost! Some are abandoned! Some are unwanted!
Great progress has been made in the Homer area with pet overpopulation. Fewer homeless dogs and cats end up in our shelter and Homer Veterinary Clinic reports fewer euthanasia of unwanted animals.
You can help continue our progress by spaying and neutering your pet. Fewer animals in need of shelter help, save lives.
