Why do we have a S/No Balls Dance Party?
Last year, the very first year we had this event, we raised $19,000 for spay/neuter services in our local community! How was that money spent? Well, every single dime of that $19,000 (plus $2,000 from our trivia night) went to spaying and neutering local cats and dogs. Here is how it breaks down.....
During our "Happy Neuter Year" promotion at the ABC Clinic, we paid for half of all spays and neuters during the month of January. Here are those numbers:
Dogs: 152 (Males 86/Females 66)
Cats: 241 (Males 133/Females 108)
During our Kitten Caboodle promotion at the ABC Clinic, the owner paid for the momma (or papa) cat, and we paid for the spay/neuter of all the kittens in that litter. Here are those numbers:
Cats: 142 (Male 83/Female 59)
That is a total of 535 animals that can no longer produce offspring!!! (At an average cost of about $39.00 per animal.) If those animals had not been altered and were allowed to reproduce, there would literally be THOUSANDS of more animals in our community ending up in shelters, rescues, dumped, in bad situations, or being euthanized. Let that sink in.....THOUSANDS!
Sure the dance is great fun.....who doesn't have fun when the Whistle Pigs are playing? But, it is also an important service to our community's animals, rescues, shelters, and residents. Our goals are to reduce the number of animals in our area rescues and shelters, and also reduce the number of animals euthanized in our shelters.
So, come to the dance....have a fabulous time....and know that you are helping save lives!
