TEXARKANA, Ark. – Animal advocates are offering low-cost spay and neuter clinics to help combat the overpopulation of pets in the Texarkana area.
Last year, the Arkansas side of the city passed an ordinance requiring pets to be spayed or neutered. The spay and neuter clinic not only helps prevent unwanted litters, or pets that get dumped and left behind, but animal advocates say it also improves or promotes the animal’s health.
Friends Furrever, a local animal rescue group, is sponsoring the clinic at the Texarkana shelter.
Volunteer Virginia Rice says the clinic is especially helpful for pet owners living
