Hays County urges spaying/neutering with proclamation

Staff Report

As Hays County’s regional animal shelter continues to struggle with overcrowding, the county is urging residents to spay and neuter their pets in order to significantly reduce pet overpopulation, unwanted litters and overcrowded shelters. 

During the Feb. 1 commissioners court meeting, the commissioners unanimously voted to adopt a proclamation recognizing February as Spay/Neuter Awareness Month in the county in order to bring more community awareness to the importance of spaying and neutering pets.
