The Tucson Dog Advocacy Team helps Tucson animal shelters combat stray dog overpopulation by running low-cost spay/neuter clinics.
Kugun According to , this is the first pop-up clinic hosted by the dog advocacy group.
According to Southern Arizona Humane SocietySpaying or neutering a dog costs between $125 and $265.
But the family and dog owner paid just $50 for the Tucson Action Team to Advocate for Dogs pop-up clinic. The service costs $25, plus an additional $25 for post-op medications and an electronic collar.
Katie Bultman, co-chair of the Tucson Action Team’s spay and neuter committee, told KGUN: “We’re trying to reach a demographic that cares for pets and loves them, but can’t afford all the veterinary care themselves.”
Tiffany Linden, the mother of the family who came to the pop-up clinic, said it’s important to be responsible pet owners and help limit the number of dogs.
“Also, we have other female dogs, so I don’t want to have any more puppies, so I am sure that I will be responsible as the owner.” she said.
“We see it firsthand. We see puppies and dogs being abandoned every day, and the number is increasing, and the cause is affordable spaying and neutering. There is a lack of surgical services and backyard breeding.”
