Adoption alone is not the answer to pet overpopulation. Spay and neuter of the pets of low income families and free-roaming/feral cats results in fewer animals being born and fewer animals entering local animal shelters. The end result is fewer animals losing their lives due to homelessness.
From its founding in late 2001 through 2007, Peninsula Spay/Neuter Project facilitated over 10,000 spays and neuters of pet cats and dogs, as well as feral and free-roaming cats. This was done with a volunteer staff.
PSNP was the first organization in the Puget Sound region to focus on pit bull overpopulation. Over 300 dogs have were sterilized free of charge in 2006 and 2007.
PSNP was the first organization in Pierce County to focus on the overpopulation of feral and free-roaming cats. Over 5,200 cats were sterilized via trap/neuter/return between 2001–2007.
On March 3, 2008, PSNP opened the first low cost, high volume, high quality spay/neuter clinic in the Puget Sound Region. And, PSNP officially changed its name to Coalition: HUMAnE to better support its goals, mission and vision. With the addition of the clinic and continued public support, we will be able to provide over 6,000 low cost spay and neuter surgeries to further address the needs of our community!
“No other disease or condition of companion animals takes as many lives as euthanasia. In fact, no other disease comes close.”
