The Humane Society of South Carolina is excited to announce it has received a generous $20,000 grant from the Petco Foundation for its Fido FixersMobile Spay Neuter Clinic. With this grant, the Humane Society will be able to
provide half-priced spay/neuter surgeries throughout the Midlands.
The Humane Society is fortunate to have received one of only three Fido Fixers clinics in the nation. This mobile clinic is making low-cost spay/neuter surgeries a reality in communities throughout the Midlands. Fido Fixers has performed more than 2,000 surgeries so far this year. Fido Fixers is reaching rural communities in Calhoun, Chester, Fairfield, Orangeburg, Sumter, Lexington, Marlboro, Newberry and Richland counties;
and with this partnership with Petco Foundation, we are looking to expand that reach even further! The mobile clinic is able to provide surgeries, immunizations, and other services to patients in convenient locations, making spay/neuter services accessible to more and more people.
Please come celebrate our partnership with the Petco Foundation on October 26, 2016 at the Petco store in Lexington 5438 Sunset Blvd at 10:00 AM. Help the HumaneSocietyensure that Fido Fixers reaches even more animals in South Carolina.
