The Ontario SPCA is excited to announce that the Lincoln County Humane Society Animal Clinic, offering Spay/Neuter services, has surpassed its 1,000th surgery since opening in December, 2012.
The milestone was reached Friday, April 5, 2013, with the neuter of a four month old Sealpoint Siamese named Mizu.
The surgery was completed by Dr. Rosemary Murray. Mizu is recovering well after his surgery.
"We are so excited to announce our first milestone of 1,000 surgeries performed at our clinic," said Alicia Morey, Clinic Manager, Lincoln County Humane Society Animal Clinic. "Having your pet spayed or neutered is really important in helping reduce pet overpopulation."
Tens of thousands of dogs and cats end up homeless on the street or orphaned every year. Having your pet spayed or neutered will directly address this problem. Pet overpopulation also contributes to the cycle of neglect and abuse.
Spaying/neutering pets will also reduce health risks and physical stress, and improve behaviour in your pet. Fixed pets are also less likely to roam, reducing the risk of injury, accident and loss.
