their pets, improve pet health, and help end the tragedy of pet
overpopulation—all in one day? Get involved in the 13th annual Spay Day USA on
February 27, 2007. Hundreds of humane organizations participate each year,
increasing their public profiles and reducing the number of accidental litters
born in the spring. During Spay Day USA’s first 12 years, participants spayed or
neutered an estimated 1,366,000 animals.
