WHO ARE THE MEMBERS OF SPAY & SAVE?

Spay & Save is a small organization consisting of only a handful of people; however, because Spay & Save helps people who help animals, there are many individuals in the five-county region who are involved in our cause. These are people who are independently care for many stray, abandoned and helpless animals. These are the people who, like Spay & Save, would never think of euthanizing a healthy animal. Instead - often at great personal sacrifice - they jointly make it possible for thousands of dogs and cats to live long, healthy and happy lives. Spay & Save is proud to be associated with the animal lovers and rescuers who call us for assistance.

WHERE DOES SPAY & SAVE GET ITS FUNDS?

Spay & Save gets its funds from small donations, the redemption of Genuardi tapes, Acme tapes and other fund-raising activities of small organizations - bake sales, garage sales, etc.

HOW ARE THE FUNDS USED?

We consist entirely of volunteers. Every cent we collect goes directly to the care of animals, mostly for veterinary care. No one is compensated for any time given or use of their car or telephone. Every cent that we receive is spent (usually immediately) to pay our outstanding veterinary bills. Participating veterinarians provide their services, as required, at low cost. Their generous support is greatly appreciated.

DONATIONS TO SPAY & SAVE ARE COMPLETELY TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
