Low Income Spay/Neuter Monies Still Available
As
you all know, the Rimrock Humane Society was awarded a $5,000 grant
from the DJ & T Foundation back in late July to assist low income
families with low cost spay/neuters.
As
of this writing, $3,662 of these dollars has assisted 109 animals in
this community with their spay/neuter surgeries. That leaves another
$1,338 dollars left to help with even more surgeries for the animals
of Musselshell County.
”We
are just so very pleased with the response to this program,” stated
Sandy Church, President of the Humane Society. “With the monies
getting low, we have already put our name back in the grant hat with
the DJ & T Foundation for another $5,000. This is a program that
we hope to continue in the future and plan on having these monies available
at all times.”
So how does this work? A pet owner will contact the Humane Society to
specify that they want to have their animal altered. The owner is responsible
for making a donation of either what they can afford or what they want
to pay toward the surgery to the RHS. The Rimrock Humane Society will
then pay the vet bill in full and the DJ & T Foundation will reimburse
the Humane Society for the difference on a monthly basis. It is felt
by all parties involved in this granting process that owners need to
take some fiduciary responsibility in altering their pet. This program
is a WIN/WIN/WIN situation . . . the veterinarian is getting full payment
for the surgery and does not need to volunteer time or services, the
owner is getting a healthier pet at a more affordable price and the
Rimrock Humane Society is gratified in seeing the community doing something
about the pet overpopulation problem.
The
Rimrock Humane Society still has money available so please call (406)
323-3687 to get your pet altered today! The Society’s web site
