SCRAPS Hosts "Spokane County SNIP" Free Spay-Neuter Clinic

SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. — Spokane County is seeing a rise in pregnant dogs, leading to more litters being abandoned or surrendered.

A crucial way to address this overpopulation is through spaying and neutering.

"Spokane County SNIP," a community collaboration event, will offer free spay-neuter procedures for 100 household dogs. The event is scheduled for Sunday, August 25, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. at SCRAPS (Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service).

"Spokane County SNIP" is supported by a coalition of local partners and volunteers:

• Northeast Washington Spay and Neuter Alliance (NEWSNA) : Provides a mobile surgery trailer, surgical medications, liability insurance, and scheduling.
• SCRAPS Hope Foundation : Funds medical supplies.
• PetSavers : Manages check-in and check-out on the event day.
• Higher Ground Animal Sanctuary : Contributes skilled volunteers for the surgical teams and manages grant acquisition and distribution.
• Murci’s Mission Rescue : Supplies skilled volunteers for the surgical teams.
• The Furry Farm Rescue : Provides skilled volunteers for the surgical teams.
