SAVE $$$ on SPAYING/
NEUTERING

Nevada County pet owners can get a certificate to reduce the cost of spaying and neutering their pets.  Save $60 for a female dog, $40 for a male dog, $30 for a female cat, and $15 for a male cat.

Certificates are available at the Nevada County Animal Shelter, and are good at any vet.

Please be a responsible pet owner and save animals' lives by spaying or neutering your pet.

 

   Internet Resources for
Financial Aid to Help Your Pet
BEFORE contacting Sammie's Friends for financial assistance, please investigate the following Internet resources.   (If you do not have Internet access, you can get it free at the library.)

The primary responsibility of Sammie's Friends is to the Shelter animals, who have no one else to look out for them.  YOU are your pet's best advocate. The health and well-being of your pet is YOUR responsibility.  It requires more effort than making one phone call to Sammie's Friends.
