Northern
Virginia Spay/Neuter Alliance & Clinic (NoVA-SNAC)--a
program of the S.P.C.A. of Northern Virginia--is dedicated
to ending pet overpopulation by working with local animal
welfare advocates, companion animal businesses, and animal
rescue organizations to invest in the creation of a regional
high-volume, low-cost spay/neuter clinic which will serve
animal shelters, rescue organizations and low-income pet owners.
NoVA-SNAC promotes a nationwide
network of targeted, aggressive, high-volume, high-quality,
low-cost strategically-placed sterilization clinics as the
best defense against all sources of companion animal overpopulation.
A single regional high volume clinic can sterilize thousands
of animals each year and greatly minimize regional shelter
intake.
Lauren Shifflett, co-owner
of The Leesburg Canine Country Club, actively supports NoVA-SNAC’s
mission, “We do not need to accept pet overpopulation as inevitable.
If we invest our resources in sterilization, we will dramatically
decrease the numbers of unwanted animals being born, thereby
freeing up existing resources-both available pet homes and
money—for those unwanted animals which are born. The
Humane Alliance Spay/Neuter Clinic in Asheville,
North Carolina sterilizes more than 22,000 animals each year
and has reduced local shelter intake by over 70 percent. Investment
in widespread sterilization programs is the best answer. We
can end pet overpopulation forever.”
Northern
Virginia Spay/Neuter Alliance and Clinic (NoVA-SNAC) is a
program of The SPCA of Northern Virginia, an IRS-registered
501(c)(3) charity, EIN 54-1627788, listed under the name Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Northern VA.
