Dear friends,

If you would like to help save animal's lives in Clallam County , PLEASE:

Contact Our State Legislators to Support Spay/Neuter Bill 5329/1406. Passage of this Bill would not only reduce the euthanasia of homeless animals, but would help our community as well. It would save taxpayers money by reducing the number of animals handled by animal control and animal welfare agencies. Our community would also be safer, as there would be fewer dog bites and less spread of disease

Here's how we can help:

Go to sites: State Senator,

James Hargrove at: www.leg.wa.gov/senate/hargrove ;

RE: PLEASE SUPPORT SENATE BILL 5329/HOUSE BILL 1406

Dear Senator Hargrove and Representatives, Lynne Kessler and Kevin Van de Wege:

As a constituent of Legislative District 24, I ask you, as my representative, to support Senate Bill 5329/House Bill 1406.

Clallam County has a serious pet overpopulation problem. In 2008, approximately 3,000 animals were taken in by local animal welfare organizations in our county.

Nearly 1,000 dogs, cats, puppies, kittens and free-roaming cats were euthanized all due to homelessness. Please support this Bill and help us reduce the number of unnecessary deaths of our community’s animals.

Thank you for your support. Passage of this Bill could make a big difference to the animals in our community. See below for more information.

The Spay/Neuter Bill is Now In the State Legislature

Please Urge Your Legislators to Support

Senate Bill 5329/House Bill 1406

Endorsed by the Humane Society of the United States , the Washington State Federation of Animal Care and Control Agencies, and over 40 other Animal Welfare Organizations in Washington State

Companion Animal Spay/Neuter Assistance: Senate Bill 5329 and House Bill 1406

SB 5329 and HB 1406 would help fund 70,000 or more spay/neuter surgeries each year on cats and dogs belonging to low-income residents of our state, and on feral and free-roaming cats. To the extent funds are available, it would also support the costs of spay/neuter surgeries on cats and dogs in the possession of animal shelters, animal care and control agencies, and other animal welfare organizations. The bill does not make spay/neuter surgery mandatory.
