Darrington
Clinic to get pets nicked for a nickel
The Spay Station is hitting the road in its “neuter scooter” in a visit to Darrington at 7 a.m. Wednesday at the Darrington Family Support and Resource Center, 1085 Darrington St. Residents can get their male dogs and cats neutered for a nickel during the mobile clinic’s special visit.
The Spay Station will accept male dogs and cats only. Space is limited and pets are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, so pet owners are encouraged to get there early.
Pet owners will only be charged 5 cents. The Spay Station is sponsored by Pasado’s Safe Haven, a nonprofit animal rescue group in Monroe.
Through the mobile clinic’s sterilization program, the group tries to limit the number of unwanted pets being born. More than 17,000 dogs and cats have been spayed or neutered by the clinic, according to Pasado’s. The Spay Station typically travels to low-income areas throughout the Puget Sound region and often offers discounts.
