On June 13th, 2009, the Amanda Foundation Foundation Spaymobile came to South Los Angeles and a team of 3 vets, 9 techs, and 30 volunteers joined forces to spay/neuter 101 dogs in one day!
We called this day "Pits and Pals" because many of the families have both a Pit Bull and then a smaller "Pal" dog.
|
|
General Manager Kathy Davis and Councilman Wesson came out to join Amanda Foundation President Teri Austin to show their support for "Pits and Pals."
|
|
|
We had three surgical teams!
|
|
|
Plenty of Pits in South Central.
|
|
|
The Pit Bull is very much the family dog in this community.
|
|
|
Neutering keeps male dogs from wanting to fight.
|
|
|
A neutered dog is 3 times less likely to bite a child.
|
|
|
Left unaltered a male dog can be responsible for thousands of puppies.
|
|
|
Over 30 volunteers worked from 5 am until 6 pm with a smile all day long!
|
|
|
Big and small we took care of them all!
|
|
|
A neutered dog is less likely to wander and get lost or hit by a car.
|
|
|
We were happy to see whole families come to "Pits and Pals."
|
|
|
We had Grandmothers bring their Grandsons, teaching them to be responsible pet people. |
|
|
We were so glad to see so many children experiencing how to take good care of their pets!
