Events

Our April, 2008 Standoff Pet Wellness Clinic was a huge success!

Eighty-five dogs or cats were “fixed”. We are so thankful to the 39 volunteers who helped us make it happen.

We would also like to thank the following veterinary clinics who participated in our event: Claresholm Veterinary Services, Diamond Valley Veterinary Clinic, Eastern Slopes Veterinary Services, Foothills Veterinary Clinic, Fort Macleod Veterinary Clinic, High River Veterinary Clinic, Highview Veterinary Clinic, Raymond Veterinary Clinic and Southpointe Pet Hospital.

So many rescue groups helped us with the 32 dogs that were surrendered. We would like to thank: the Animal Rescue Foundation, Calgary Humane Society, Pawsitive Match Rescue, Pincher Creek Humane Society, Pound Rescue and Prairie Dogs Rescue for accepting these animals and ensuring that they go on to loving homes.

Many thanks to the donors to our clinic: Chief Charles Weasel Head and Councillors from the Blood Tribe First Nation, The World Society for the Protection of Animals, Best Friends Animal Society, Heather Waddell, Dr. Gabriele Barry, Pound Rescue, Ken and Linda McEwen, Brian and Eileen Easton, Trudy Sattler, and R. J. Bailot.

Our next Standoff Pet Wellness Clinic will be in May.

Thanks so much from all of us
at The Alberta Spay Neuter Task Force!
