Daisy Fund dog service comes to W.S.
The Bend Spay and Neuter
Project hosted their first spay-neu-
ter clinic in Warm Springs, Septem-
ber 5, providing service to 35
dogs—twenty females and 15
males.
Bend Spay and Neuter will be
back in Warm Springs the first
Tuesday of next month, October
4. The service is made possible
through the Daisy Fund.
On that day, dog owners are
asked to show up at 7:30 a.m. at
the Warm Springs Housing Com-
munity Building, 2776 Quail Trail.
The service is provided to the dog
owners on a first-come first-serve
basis.
The Confederated Tribes and
Housing Authority are partnering
with the Bend Spay and Neuter
Project on this service.
For the September 5 clinic there
were three Veterinarian doctors on
hand, with four Spay and Neuter
Project staff plus volunteers.
The dog owners arrived in the
morning, dropped of their dogs,
and then returned to pick them up
at the end of the business day.
Everything went smoothly, and the
first clinic wrapped up by around
5:30 p.m., said Megan Gram, ex-
ecutive director of the Spay and
Neuter Project.
