Free spay and neuter clinic coming to Soldotna this month

The upcoming clinics will be held May 29-June 1 at Redoubt Elementary School in Soldotna.

Kenai Peninsula Animal Lovers Rescue has partnered with Greater Good Charities to provide free spay and neuter services for Kenai Peninsula families with dogs and cats this month.

The upcoming clinics will be held May 29-June 1 at Redoubt Elementary School in Soldotna. Registration and drop-off are first-come, first-served and will begin at 7:30 a.m. each day. Registration ends at 10 a.m. or when capacity is reached, whichever comes first. Groups or individuals with 10 or more animals are asked to text 907-953-1449 to register.

“We are thrilled to return to the Kenai Peninsula to provide free high-quality, high-volume spay and neuter clinics,” Dr. Ruth Parkin, executive vice president of veterinary services for Greater Good Charities, said. “We aim to help reduce barriers to basic veterinary care for local families and relieve the burden on animal shelters to intake or euthanize unwanted dogs and cats.”

Parkin said through the clinic, they hope to sterilize hundreds of dogs and cats across the area and “help to keep local families and pets together.”

According to an April 17 press release, Greater Good Charities follows best practices per the Association of Shelter Veterinarians spay/neuter guidelines, including sterilization ID via permanent tattoo.

In addition to the surgery, pets will also receive free vaccinations, parasite control and microchips.
