The Charleston Animal Society (CAS) today announced the launch of “Operation Fix It: Spay it Forward," a fundraiser running from May 1st to May 5th. This critical fundraiser will support their mission of providing low-cost spay and neuter services to thousands of animals annually.
Each year, CAS tworks to address the issue of pet overpopulation by providing affordable spay and neuter services at their AAHA-accredited Sam Greer Spay Neuter Clinic. By offering these essential procedures, CAS prevents countless animals from ending up homeless, suffering, or being euthanized in overcrowded shelters.
“Each year almost 3,400 animals are euthanized in the Lowcountry, much of it due to overpopulation,” said Charleston Animal Society Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Aldwin Roman, CAWA. “Spay-Neuter is the solution to stop unnecessary euthanasia. Every animal that is fixed, is one less animal creating unwanted litters of dogs and cats that wind up in shelters across our state.”
This year an anonymous person is matching every gift up to $25,000. This means if you donate $50, it’s like giving $100.
"With 'Operation Fix It' we're calling upon the community to come together and make a tangible difference in the lives of thousands of animals," Roman said. "Together, we can make a lasting impact and create a brighter future for pets and their owners."
Supporters of Operation Fix it can “Spay it Forward” by donating online at CharlestonAnimalSociety.org or can give by calling (843) 329-1579.
