The City of Lima and the Allen County Dog Warden are hoping to increase the number of people taking advantage of their spay-neuter assistance program. This is the second year for the voucher program to help reduce pet overpopulation.

April 2, 2024 Press Release from the City of Lima: The Spay and Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP) is designed to assist Lima residents with voluntary sterilization of companion animals as a proactive approach to controlling pet overpopulation. This assistance program will give first priority to low-income residents, but all residents in need of assistance will be considered.

They always say that a picture is worth a thousand words, but this afternoon cute holiday pictures can help one organization with a specific mission. A Lotta Love Pet Rescue invited some four-legged friends and their owners out to get some holiday pictures taken.   The furry models had their choice between a fall or winter backdrop or even get their picture taken with Santa.   Besides the pictures, there were auction items that people could bid on and all the money raised goes to help spay and neuter cats.  They have partnered with Humane Ohio out of Toledo, to provide a clinic 35 community cats spayed and neutered each month.

In an attempt to keep the pet population down the Auglaize County Humane Society is offering a free rebate voucher to be used at local participating veterinarians. February is national Spay and Neuter month and spay days is back for its 4th year.
