TLC PetSnip-Polk, SPCA Florida, Humane Society of Polk
County and Polk County Animal Control are working together to provide spay and neuter service to the homeless animals across Polk County.
COVID 19 has created a halt on spay/neuter services across the country in
order to conserve PPE for hospitals and human medical offices. The halt has
created a backlog of shelter and rescue animals awaiting sterilization prior to adoption.
Spay and neuter services will be performed at TLC PetSnip’s Polk County
clinic and at the SPCA Florida Campus. Together through the #SpayItForward movement over 200 cats and kittens will be sterilized and ready for adoption through SPCA Florida, Humane Society of Polk County and Polk County Animal Control.
Polk County is working toward being a No-Kill County and the only way that will be achieved is through collaborations like this. This collaborative effort between TLC PetSnip, SPCA Florida, Polk County Animal Control and
Humane Society of Polk County is the first of many to come to achieve this lifesaving goal.
