Check-in at Let's Go

Let’s Go Pet Care has long been a supporter of SpayHR. They allowed us to use the parking lot at the shopping center for mobile clinics, and even opened their store space for check in with the Neuter Scooter. On especially cold mornings, we enjoyed delicious coffee from next door’s O’Jardim. (The food is just as good.)

We were disturbed to hear someone broke into both businesses this week. To read the full story and view footage, visit the WVEC website. The story includes a link to surveillance video posted on YouTube. If you have information that will help police, please call the Crime Line, 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.

 

Top 10 Reasons Why You Can’t Trust Pit Bulls

Pit bull terriers comprise a large portion of the canine companion animal population in need in our area. We couldn’t resist this cute blog entry from Dog Rescuer’s Life:

Top 10 Reasons Why You Can’t Trust Pit Bulls

10. They will steal your spot on the couch while you are up getting a soda.

9. They will take the treat you give them and bury in the backyard like a paranoid crack head hiding their stash.

8. They will jump on your bed with muddy feet. Making you do laundry…again.

December 17, 2011: Rabies Clinic

This past Saturday, Spay Hampton Roads sponsored a free Rabies vaccination clinic for residents of Norfolk Pet Project neighborhoods. This clinic was part of our Holiday Gift to the Community project, made possible by a grant from the ASPCA.

As with the Rabies clinic earlier this year, we hope to see participants return for spay/neuter services at future clinics.

Feliz Navidad, Gatos de Lambert’s Point

Earlier this year the Lambert’s Point feral cat colony got an extreme makeover in the form of a full renovation to their house.

For the season, one of their caretakers has added holiday decorations, bringing cheer to human passersby…and maybe even the feline residents.

December 2, 2011

Brrrr….so chilly this morning but so worth it!

Ziggy

Today’s clinic spayed/neutered 25 cats and dogs.

Our first arrival was Ziggy the Calico. Her human “brother” posed for a picture with her in front of the super duper PETA mobile clinic van. That’s Ron Artest with canine pal John Henry on the side of the van.

Tiger & Judo

Small dogs ruled early check in, too. Deyonta Russell brought Judo and Tiger to be neutered. We were thrilled to hear that Deyonta heard about our service through her civic league. Go Fairmont Park!

Go Monarchs, too! We saw a few Old Dominion University students with their pets. Maggy, a sweet tortie, came with one of her caretakers. There are more strays on her street, and the ODU students who care for her will work on bringing those cats for surgery and shots.
