February is National Spay/Neuter Awareness Month

February is National Spay/Neuter Awareness Month so Centre County PAWS is shining a spotlight on spay/neuter - the only way to end the overpopulation of dogs and cats who may otherwise be put down in a shelter or killed on the street. We will have various events and fundraisers throughout the month to promote spay/neuter awareness and raise funds for our Spay and Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP).
 

In 2011 PAWS' SNAP helped spay/neuter over 1000 dogs and cats in Centre County! This year we hope to increase that number while we continue to combat pet overpopulation in our area. To learn more about our SNAP program, please click here. If you would like to help support the program, please read about the following opportunities below:
 

1. Buy an "I support Spay and Neuter Awareness Month" cut-out for $1!

By visiting one of the locations on the list below, you can purchase a cut-out (see photo), write your name on it (or your animal's!), & have it displayed at the business. Each cutout may be purchased for a $1 donation.
