A total of 39 animals were spayed or neutered during the Oct. 1-4 clinic, preventing an estimated 2,000 potentially unplanned puppies and kittens. The clinic also provided veterinary wellness care, with 43 vaccines administered to help protect animals from preventable disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cPartnerships like these allow us to provide practical services that directly benefit our communities. This initiative reinforces UCCMM\u2019s ongoing commitment to responsible animal control, community safety, and the health and well-being of animals across our member First Nations,\u201d says Jordan Atchison, Director of Community Safety, United Chiefs and Councils of Mnidoo Mnising. \u201cMigweetch to everyone who contributed their time, resources, and support to make this event a success.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ontario SPCA\u2019s Mobile Animal Sterilization Hospitals (MASH) are portable clinics that allow veterinary teams to provide spay\/neuter and wellness services in underserved communities across Ontario. The Ontario SPCA works with communities to help improve access to veterinary care and prevent unplanned litters.<\/p>\n

\u201cMobile clinics allow us to work alongside communities to provide important veterinary care where it\u2019s needed,\u201d says Arista Wogenstahl, Northern Regional Manager of Community Outreach Services with the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society. \u201cWe\u2019re grateful to the communities and supporters who make these clinics possible and to everyone who helps us improve access to care for animals and the people who love them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
