PROJECTS & OUTREACH
Humane societies like PCHS are known for their efforts to help animals, but we're also interested in helping people, too. Implementing educational programs, organizing spay/neuter services, coordinating rescue efforts, and getting everyone involved - young and old - benefits the whole community - people and animals alike.
A few of our projects are shown here, but we're always looking for new ways to help out! Have an idea? Contact us!
FELINE FIXATHON
Feline Fixathon is our annual spay/neuter campaign for cats. Cat overpopulation is a huge problem in Pulaski County, and the first step towards fixing it is preventing further litters! During the month of March each year, you can schedule a spay/neuter surgery with one of our participating local vets or in the PCHS clinic for half the regular price!*
*Please Note: This discount does NOT apply to other services the vet may require such as vaccinations, exams, or medications. It also does not apply to other services you may request such as grooming or boarding. To use the PCHS clinic, you must qualify for financial aid. If our clinic is used, the 1/2 price discount does not apply since the price is already reduced.
INVOLVING OUR SCHOOL CHILDREN
PCHS works to teach our young people how to care for their pets and encourages them to help animals in need. We are always eager to present pet care seminars to school age students, and in past years, volunteers have visited several local elementary schools in the area.
The Pulaski County Humane Society, Radford Animal Hospital, and Tipton Ridge Veterinary Medical Center all came together to provide local schools and libraries with most of the companion animal books that received the ASPCA Henry Bergh Award. All students should have humane education materials available to them to teach kindness and compassion for all creatures, and the humane society hopes children (and maybe even their parents!) will enjoy these books for years to come.
