spay or neuter for pit bulls

Fort Lauderdale, FL –   The Humane Society of Broward County is offering FREE spay or neuter for pit bulls and pit bull mixes thanks to a grant received from Dolly’s Dream.  In order to qualify, the owner must be a Broward County resident and the dog must be 8 weeks.  The goal is to sterilize 100 dogs over the next six months.  Vaccinations, heartworm testing and microchipping are also available for a fee.  Appointments are necessary so please contact spayneuter@hsbroward.com or 954-463-7729. 

The surgeries will be performed at the Humane Society of Broward County located at 2070 Griffin Road and at the portable spay/neuter sterilization unit located at Sunview Park 1500 SW 42nd Avenue in Fort Lauderdale. 

Here are the simple facts as to why you should have your pets spayed or neutered:

1.          An un-neutered male dog can detect an un-spayed female dog in heat for up to 3 ½ miles.  As a result more than 80% of dogs hit by cars are un-neutered males.  Neutering pets makes them less likely to roam.

2. Altering your pet greatly reduces or eliminates the desire for them to spray or mark their territory.

3. A dog that is neutered is less likely to fight with other animals for a mate or territory.

4. You’ll greatly reduce the chance of testicular and ovarian cancer if your pets are altered at an early age.

5. Unsterilized animals often exhibit more behavior and temperament problems than do those who have been spayed or neutered.

6. Spaying and neutering helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives.  Don’t you want your pet to live as long as possible?
