SPAY WASHINGTON

Spay Washington is a statewide referral network for low cost spay/neuter services. Participating veterinarians or clinics lower their prices an average of 15-50% for our clients. Many people in Washington are unable to afford to spay or neuter their pets, even though they want to do the right thing for their pets and their communities. Please, help us reduce the euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals by assisting pet owners throughout the state by donating to Spay Washington today. Angela Scheres, Program Director.

One Hope Network
shelter partner for 2009



Adoptable animals at SpokAnimal are evaluated by trained staff using the ASPCA®’s Meet Your Match™

(MYM)—a unique program that seeks to increase adoption rates and decrease return rates in shelters across the country, by assessing the “Canine-ality™” and “Puppy-ality™” of adoptable dogs and puppies, as well as the “Feline-ality™” of adoptable cats, and matching them with their perfect pet parents. Created by Dr. Emily Weiss, the ASPCA®’s Meet Your Match™ is sponsored by Iams®.
