For decades the words “spay” and “neuter” have been the mantra of local animal activists. Because of the recent tragedies involving stray dogs and the report by BCG, the call to arms has been ramped up. But to “fix” the problem requires funding and lots of it for those who can’t afford the procedures.

Howl At The Moon*
Saturday, November 12, the Dallas Companion Animal Project is encouraging folks to “release your inner animal” at its fall fundraiser, “Howl at the Moon.” It will take place in the Cambridge Room of the House of Blues from 7 to 10 p.m. with loads of music, food, cocktails and a silent auction specially designed for animal lovers.
According to Event Organizer Brooke Scruggs, “This is about raising funds for spay-and-neuter days, community outreach, and other programs that are so valuable for animals in Dallas. But we also wanted to have some fun. It’s an opportunity to have a great time and do it for a good cause.”
If DCAP is new on your pet radar, it’s a non-profit “created to focus on the future of the community by strengthening the connection between people and animals. One of the services offered is SpayDay that provide free and low-cost spay/neuter to low-income families who could not otherwise afford to alter their pets.
