The Garrett County Humane Society will take part in the 17th annual Humane Society of the United States Spay Day USA, set for Tuesday, Feb. 22. Though only one day has been designated as Spay Day, activities will take place during the entire month of February at numerous locations across the United States.

“This event is to inspire people to save animals’ lives by spaying and neutering pets and feral cats,” said GC Humane Society president Lisa Baker. “To see what events are happening locally, go to www.humane-society.org/spaydayfind.”

In conjunction with Spay Day, the GCHS will distribute spay/neuter discount vouchers to local residents later in the month. These vouchers are only valid at the three area veterinary hospitals in Garrett County and cannot be used at HART’s low income spay/neuter clinic in McHenry.

“If your pet is not ‘fixed’ yet, please get a voucher and have it done,” Baker said. “The procedure not only prevents unwanted litters from being born, but also helps with various health and behavioral issues your pet may have.”

She noted that a “fun addition” to Spay Day is the HSUS Online Pet Photo Contest, which is in progress now.

“This event is a way to showcase your pet and raise money for your chosen organization,” Baker said. “Tell all your friends to go online and vote for your or their favorite pet, which costs only $1 a vote. You can locate a photo by the pet’s name or the benefiting organization’s name.”

She added that there are already hundreds of entries, and viewers can spend hours looking at the photos and reading the stories, which range from funny to heartbreaking

Baker will be entering a colorful, cheerful photo of a local miniature donkey wearing a sombrero. Interested persons may go online to www.humanesociety.org/photocontest to enter another photo or to vote for Baker’s.
