Vermilion County - Spay and Neuter
                       

Spaying and neutering of cats and dogs eliminates unwanted behavior, saves lives because overpopulation of these animals caused many to get sick and die or are not adopted and have to be euthanized.



The solution is simple and inexpensive!

All you need to do is call
217 431-0332
to make an appointment.

We are here to help.  Call today, do not hesitate.

 
Shelter workers and volunteers hear over and over again from people who want to adopt a puppy or a kitten, "I want a pet who will bond with my family," or "I want a pet who can grow up with my kids."  the truth is that forming a strong connection with a pet has little to do with the animal's age at the time of adoption.  Here are a few statements made by people who have adopted older pets:

"I have benefited more from knowing and loving my old pets than I ever could have imagined."

"When I adopted my first older dog I thought I was doing a good thing by bringing her home.  Who was I kidding?  Now I am filled with gratitude to her for sharing her appreciation for the little joys in life with me.  I have learned many life lessons from knowing, loving and being loved by these older souls."

More and more animal lovers are finding out that their perfect pet isn't a puppy or kitten but an adult animal.  Their learning just how easy it is to teach an older pet new tricks - like showing their best friend how to love again.

As society, we respect and honor those who have lived long lives.  And so it should be for our special animal friends.
