"It Pays to Spay" with Spay-4-LA @ Super-A This event was organized by: Luxe Paws Fitzburgh Realty Team Real Estate Agents to the Rescue (RErescue) A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: GPNC, Urban Pet, Candice Uy (Realtor), Ms. Chris Zegar, and Toland Way Elementary after-school program, and Principal Pais (pronounced "pays"). On Saturday, October 24th The Fitzburgh Realty Team in conjunction with other organizations brought out a mobile surgical unit to the Glassell Park Community and offered FREE spay/neuter surgery. A total of 35 kitties and doggies in our NELA community were spayed and neutered COMPLETELY FREE of charge to their owners. IT TOOK A VILLAGE! So many different people, groups, and companies all came together to make this happen is such a great way. That's what this is all about - bringing community together to support each other and make something great happen! Not only was the surgery FREE, but every participant received a $5.00 gift card from Super A Foods, Goodie bags with treats from The Urban Pet, delicious, home-made chocolate chip cookies from Candice Uy (Realtor), beautiful pet beds that she personally crafted by Ms. Chris Zegar, and doggie toys that were hand-made by students in the Toland Way Elementary School after-school program. And last but not least, The Glassell Park Neighborhood Council (GPNC) donated $3,000 to help make this happen! Fitzburgh Realty Team and Real Estate Agents to the Rescue brought all these different elements together so that the valuable service of spay/neuter could be achieved. We also wanted to say: "THANK YOU for doing the right thing by getting your pet fixed" Would you be surprised to know that spay/neuter is one of the best ways to help reduce the burden on shelters? It reduces the number of doggies and kitties that have to be killed because there are not enough resources available to care for all the pets that are born and cannot find homes. Even if you are able to find family and friends who will adopt your pet's pups and kittens, that means that there are now doggies and kitties at the shelter who will not be adopted and instead will be killed. There was much more demand than could be accommodated so stand by for our next IT PAYS TO SPAY event in Northeast Los Angeles! FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA
