RUSK COUNTY ANIMAL OUTREACH
Intention for this program is to do our part in helping reduce the animal overpopulation and disease, in our county and to help families keep their family pets vs surrendering them to the local Animal Center. We do this by providing Spay & Neuter surgeries, basic medical, community microchip program, assistance with food and basic supplies for families in need.
Phase 1: We provide Spay and Neuter surgeries for all animals that are adopted out of the Henderson Animal Center. This is a huge step to reduce the overpopulation of animals in our community.
Phase 2: We will work directly with the Henderson Animal Center to identify areas in the community that have a consistent pattern with overpopulation and disease, again furthering our efforts to reduce the overpopulation and disease in our community.
