The Russell County Animal Welfare League is hoping to bring Somerset’s Hope for All Pets Low-Cost Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinic to Russell County twice monthly.

Clinics would be open for low-cost spay/neuter services for dogs and cats belonging to any Russell County resident on a pre-registration basis until all spots are filled.

“We know how important providing access to spay/neuter is in bringing down the numbers of homeless dogs and cats in our community, keeping dogs and cats out of shelters, and from possibly being euthanized because of pet overpopulation,” League President Connie Foster said.

What this would entail for the building owner is:
? allowing the mobile clinic to park outside the building and plug into an outdoor electrical outlet.
? providing a small indoor space where animals could recover following spay/neuter procedures. The indoor space would need to be heated and cooled and have running water. The building owner would not need to be on-site during clinics and Animal Welfare League volunteers would do all cleanup following each clinic.

The Animal Welfare League is looking at further options to provide additional financial assistance for services for pets owned by residents over the age of 65 and residents who receive public assistance.

If you have a building that could be used for clinics two days each month, or for further information, contact Animal Welfare League volunteers by email at RussellCountyAnimalWelfare@gmail.com, by phone at 270-321-1313, or on Facebook at Russell Co. Animal Welfare League.
