STOP S MISSION: STOP the Overpopulation of Pets is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation dedicated to paying for spaying and neutering dogs and cats in order to eliminate the killing of excess animals in Alaska s animal control shelters. Our secondary mission is to educate pet owners and potential pet owners about pet care, petrelated issues, training, and concerns in order to better the lives of pet owners, pets, and the community. WHO ARE WE? We are an all-volunteer organization. All of our time and money is devoted to reducing the pet overpopulation problem. All funds are spent on spaying and neutering companion pets and producing and distributing educational materials. We are a caring, dedicated group of individuals who are determined to reduce or eliminate the number of unwanted pets through a low and no-cost spay and neuter program HOW CAN I HELP? We are hoping that you can help Alaska s dogs and cats by donating to STOP. All donations are tax deductible. GREAT NEWS! STOP has sent out 51 vendor coupons for spaying and neutering to Valley pet owners in just 2 months! Our goal is to assist in paying to spay and neuter at least 500 Valley pets in 2 years and therefore to save many lives! SPAY/ NEUTER ASSISTANCE APPLICATION ENCLOSED! Alaska Pet News, P.O.

2 STOP Receives Grants to Help Pay for Spaying and Neutering Costs The following article ran in the Frontiersman. STOP the Overpopulation of Pets, a nonprofit corporation based in Palmer and staffed by a few animal-loving volunteers, has received two grants to help pay for spaying and neutering of pets in the Valley. Our reason for forming was the conditions at animal control and the numbers of adoptable, healthy dogs and cats and puppies and kittens killed there, said Lori Jo Oswald, director of STOP. Every time pets are killed there, it is an unnecessary tragedy. Unfortunately, many people can t or won t do the simple thing that will stop this problem spay their female dogs and cats and neuter their male dogs and cats. Now, with this money, we can help them do that. Dr. Oswald turned her attention to the Valley pet overpopulation problem about 4 years ago. She arranged for the SPCA mobile spay clinic s first visit to the Valley. Since then, the SPCA has rented a space at the corner of Trunk Road and the Wasilla-Palmer Highway to perform low-cost spay and neuter surgeries. The grants include $5,000 from PETsMART Charities, a Phoenix, Arizona-based non-profit organization, and an agreement by the DJ&T Foundation to refund spaying and neutering costs up to an additional $5,000, as long as pet owners attempt to contribute something to the surgery costs. In addition, MTA has agreed to provide phone service for 4 months for the organization; the new phone number is 746- SPAY (7729). (continued on p. 7) What Are Spaying & Neutering? Spaying and neutering are routine surgical procedures that sterilize pets. The Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) defines the procedure as follows: Female dogs and cats are spayed by removing their reproductive organs, and male dogs and cats are neutered by removing their testicles. The lack of pet neutering and spaying is largely to blame for the pet overpopulation problem, both locally and nationally. The Doris Day Animal Foundation (DDAF) found that 55 percent of surrendered dogs and 47 percent of surrendered cats had not been sterilized. An employee at the Mat-Su Borough Animal Shelter reports that the percentage of surrendered dogs and cats that are not sterilized is much higher in the Valley than the DDAF statistics indicate. She states that the majority of the cats and dogs euthanized locally have not been altered. Every day in the United States, tens of thousands of puppies and kittens are born. Compare this to the 11,000 human births each day, and you can see that there can never be enough homes for all these pets.

3 STOP Needs Your Help! Our goal STOP the Overpopulation of Pets is dedicated to saving lives by preventing births. Therefore, we pay half the cost of spaying and neutering surgeries through the SPCA Mobile Spay Clinic. For those who cannot afford the cost of half the surgery, we will pay full cost. Our success In just 2.5 months, we have sent out 50 vouchers to pay for spaying and neutering costs. Our goal is to spay and neuter at least 500 dogs and cats in the Valley in 2 years and thereby sharply reduce the number of pets killed at the Borough animal control center. How to receive an application? Pick up your application at the Borough animal control shelter, request one via (petnews@alaska.net), get one from our web site ( then follow link to STOP) or call and leave the requested information on our voice mail (746-SPAY). We will then send you a voucher to help cover half the cost of the surgery. Can you help us? We need your help to continue our program!

We also need veterinarians to join our program, so please ask your vet to call us! Health Benefits of Spaying and Neutering Due to health and behavioral benefits, spayed and neutered dogs and cats live an average of twice as long as their unaltered counterparts. The health benefits of spaying and neutering are listed below: Spaying and neutering helps pets live longer, healthier lives. Spaying and neutering eliminates the need for homes required for any offspring. Spaying eliminates false pregnancies and the possibility of uterine or ovarian cancer. Neutering eliminates testicular cancer and decreases the incidence of prostate disease. Neutering greatly reduces the risk of hernias and infections. SPCA Mobile Spay Clinic Valley If you don t need STOP s financial help, you can still prevent pet overpopulation by spaying and neutering your pet.

5 How You Can Help a Pet Today Dogs and cats are so easy to please, and it only takes a few minutes to make their day! Try cuddling and petting your cat, walking your dog, giving your dog an ear rub, throwing a ball! Here are some other ideas that will have long-term effects and just may save lives: If your dog or cat isn t spayed or neutered, you can make an appointment today with a local veterinarian or the SPCA Mobile Spay Clinic ( SPAY) to have the procedure done. Make sure your pets vaccinations are current and that you have current tags in case they are lost. If you have room in your home and your heart and can be a friend to a pet for its life, consider going to Mat-Su Borough Animal Care and Regulation (animal control) to adopt a pet. Donate to an organization such as STOP that helps animals, whether it be money, supplies, or time. Our Mission Send for your spay/neuter voucher today!

Membership: $25 Individual $35 Family $15 Senior Citizen or Student Additional Donation National Animal Shelter Statistics Send your name and address with your donation to STOP, PO Box 4083, Palmer, AK Thank you! by Claire Buza Although estimates vary greatly on the exact number of animals killed each year, consider the following statistics from the Doris Day Animal Foundation: An estimated 4 to 6 million cats and dogs are killed in shelters each year. Millions more are abandoned, only to suffer from illness or injury before dying on the streets. It costs U.S. taxpayers an estimated $2 billion each year to round up, house, euthanize, and dispose of homeless animals. Over 56 percent of dogs and puppies, and approximately 71 percent of cats and kittens are killed in shelters each year, based on reports from over 1,055 facilities across America.

6 Looking for Love? Save a Stray! Consider rescuing a pet from animal control or a humane society. Save a life! Remember that dogs and cats are not held very long before they are killed at animal control centers due to the pet overpopulation problem and budget concerns. So keep checking! Mat-Su Animal Control, th State Street, Mile 3 Palmer-Wasilla Hwy., Anchorage Animal Control Center, 4711 S. Bragaw Street, Anchorage, AK 99507, SPCA, Anchorage, AK Alaska Humane Society, Anchorage, AK, No-kill cat shelter. Friends of Pets, PO Box , Anchorage, 99524, ; Pet Adoption Hotline: Mat-Su Puppies, STOP Receives Grants to Help Pay for Spaying and Neutering Costs (continued from p. 2) Those interested in receiving partial funding to pay for their pets to be altered should call STOP at 746- SPAY and leave their name, address, phone number, and information on the pets that need to be spayed or neutered. STOP will cover half of the cost of spaying and neutering through the SPCA Mobile Spay Clinic where prices will be $30 for a male cat, $50 for a male dog or female cat, and $60 for a female dog as of September 1. STOP s goal is to pay for the spaying and neutering of at least 500 Valley pets in the next 2 years. Although this would cost at least $25,000, these grants will help the organization begin helping Valley residents and pet owners right away. We are always in need of additional help, Dr. Oswald said. We have written to all Valley veterinarians asking them to participate in our program by lowering prices, and we hope some of them will contact us about this. We are also in need of printing or copying services for our flyers, brochures, spay/neuter applications and vouchers, and newsletter. Funds for postage, a small office somewhere, office supplies and equipment, some dedicated office volunteers, places to put our flyers and newsletter all of these would be of great benefit to the pets and to STOP. Dr. Oswald says that spaying and neutering are a way of saving lives by preventing births of dogs and cats. The truth is, there are just too many dogs and cats for homes in the Valley. If you have any questions about whether to breed your pet, go visit animal control first. I hope you will change your mind. And we are here to help make a difference. Thanks to these donations, we can actually pay to spay and neuter at least 100 to 200 pets right away, depending on the price of the surgeries and the amount of additional donations we receive. ADOPT A PET TODAY FROM ANIMAL CON- TROL. AND DON T FORGET TO SPAY! Claire Buza, the organization s vice-president, said, STOP understands that spaying and neutering dogs and cats is costly. Indeed, with SPCA prices set to increase September 1, even more pet owners might be unable to afford the surgery. That s why we are so happy about this grant money because it will enable STOP to pay 50 percent of spay/ neuter costs (possibly 100 percent in extreme hardship cases). Not only will pet owners be getting a great deal, they will be helping to reduce the pet overpopulation here in the Valley. This is a win-win situation for the pets, their owners, and the community; I couldn t be happier!
