Pawsitive Outreach Spay/Neuter Clinic March 29th, Metaline Falls

PRESS RELEASE/Pawsitive Outreach Spay/Neutering Advocates

It is spring, at last, and after 'The Winter That Wasn't', breeding season for our beloved companion animals is already in full swing. Pawsitive Outreach Spay Neuter Advocates, (POSNA) in partnership with Dr Laura Talaga at Northeast Washington Spay Neuter Advocates (NEWSNA) have an affordable solution to that problem! They will be holding a spay/neuter clinic at the Metaline Falls Town Hall, 201 E 5th Avenue on Saturday, March 29th for both dogs and cats.

The cost for spaying either a male or female tame cat is $50. Ferals, or at large community cats are $40, including rabies vaccinations and mandatory ear tipping. Dogs under 75 pounds are $100, and those 75 pounds and up are $150, for either a male or female. Vaccinations for animals being altered are $15 each for rabies, 3-way shots for cats and parvo for dogs. Microchips for animals being altered are $25. That is very advisable with fire season right around the corner, you don't want your fuzzy friends getting lost!

YOU MUST GET BOOKED IN TO RESERVE YOUR SPOTS FOR THE SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC. Space is limited, so please call POSNA at your earliest convenience at (509) 671-1427. You do not want to miss out on this limited opportunity. Dr Laura will not be back in the area till October.

There will also be a drop in vaccination/microchip clinic for cats and dogs not needing surgery, starting at 3:30 PM the same day at the same location. Those prices are $20 for vaccinations and $30 for microchips. If you have a current rabies certificate or tag, please bring that as proof so you can get the 3 year rabies shot for your pet.

Your donations are very much appreciated to help defray some of the costs of the clinic and to help with copays for those who can't afford them. That is especially true of those wonderful people who take it upon themselves to help trap and alter the many feral cats found all over the community. Donations can be made in-person at the clinic, or on POSNA's website pawsitiveoutreach.org

Please be a responsible pet owner and do not add to the enormous problem of abandoned animals in our area. One unaltered pet can soon turn into many dozens. We in rescue are very much aware that there are not enough good homes for the dogs and cats who have already been born, let alone for more puppies and kittens. Thank you for joining us in working towards a world with no more homeless pets!

Public service announcement: Skinny/Emaciated Stray Dogs

We have all seen this on many stray dog posts where the dog appears skinny or emanciated - people commenting that the dog should not be returned to the owner because the dog was clearly abused and/or neglected.

Yes, there may be cases with this might be the situation, but more often than not, it's because of the following:

"A lost dog can start showing signs of emaciation within a week or less, especially if it is young and active, as it will rapidly burn calories without food. The exact timeline depends on the dog's initial weight, activity level, and hydration."

What I'm trying to impart with this PSA, is to please never ever assume anything about a lost dog because you never ever know the back story or the situation, and that includes dogs that people assume are abandoned without a valid basis to make the assumption.

Pet Savers Prevention Number: 197,650 cats/dogs (IN ONE MONTH)
👇🏻👇🏻
As we end October we want to share a little something we are passionate about! You might be able to guess it 🤷🏻‍♀️ Spay and Neuter!

In September, we shared that we sterilized 721 cats and dogs - impressive as its own stat.

🤩 What is this impact when it comes to prevention?
Based on conservative estimates, the lifetime impact of spaying and neutering 256 dogs and 465 cats in one month is:

🐶 Dogs: Prevents approximately 25,600 puppies
🐱 Cats: Prevents approximately 172,050 kittens

🧮 Total Estimated Prevention: 197,650 animals
This means Pet Savers helped prevent nearly 200,000 potential births in JUST ONE MONTH 😲 of work — a massive contribution to reducing overpopulation, shelter crowding, and animal suffering.

😺SURPRISE cat pyo
🐶Emergency fit in dog pyo

🤷‍♂️What is a Pyo (short for Pyometra) and how can you prevent your female cat/dog from getting this dangerous infection ❓
🩺Spaying is the most effective way to prevent pyometra, a potentially life-threatening uterine infection that occurs in unspayed female dogs and cats. Spaying removes the uterus and ovaries, eliminating the risk of infection and hormonal changes that can lead to the condition.
👩‍⚕️The best time to spay is before the first or second heat cycle to avoid the risk entirely, as the likelihood of developing pyometra increases with age and after each heat cycle.
😍 We save lives by spaying and neutering - schedule online today from our website!
