Rhianon with Baby and Edie with Princess

Edie Elings and her daughter, Rhianon Tesmer, brought their dogs Princess and Baby to be spayed this morning. Princess and Baby are mother and daughter, too.  They learned about the clinic at the Glenwood Park bazaar a few weeks ago when they saw a flier.  Edie said, “I don’t want any more litters.  It is too hard to get rid of all the puppies.”

Amanda & Dixie

Amanda Hunt brought her schnauzer Dixie to be spayed. She learned about our clinic from a friend who lives in Lincoln Military housing. She came today because, “it’s too overpopulated with animals

Keena

Keena, a good looking pitbull, came with her owner Donna Harrell to be spayed.  Donna said she found out about our clinic through Craig’s List.  Keena is about 1 years old and Donna said, “There are too many animals in the pound, especially of this breed.” Donna lives in Oakdale Farms.

Jimmy Frost brought 2 cats this morning: Valentine, who has “no love for people,” and Pompeii. He helps Fran Cook and all the cats in the area.

Baby & Oliver

Erin Harvey brought her yorkie Baby to be spayed and Oliver the dachshund mix to be neutered.  These 2 dogs live together and Erin wants “no puppies.” Erin and her husband, Mike, saw our flier and are from one of our neighborhoods–Lincoln Military housing.

Max

Deidre Myers brought her dog Max and her cat Bananas to be neutered.  She reported that she rescued Max from an abusive situation.  Max has lived with her about 4 months and now sleeps with her and her husband…taking up most of the bed space. Deidre learned about the clinic through Freecycle.  She lives in Lincoln Military housing and said that because Max is partially chow he has to be neutered—new community rules.

Bananas

She hopes that Bananas’ temperament will improve after being neutered.

Ralph Burton brought 2 feral cats from the Oakdale Farms neighborhood.  He said that his wife has already trapped and had 2 cats spayed/neutered at one of our earlier clinics.  He said that they are trying hard to trap 2 males who roam around the whole neighborhood.  Maybe for next time!

Suki

Michelle Reiner said that their cat Suki was a 2009 Christmas gift.  She reported that Suki is “driving me crazy and coming into heat.”  She learned about our clinic from her neighbor in the Ben Morrell area who had her cat attend our last clinic.

Thanks again to the great people (volunteers, citizens, clinic staff) and pets who make these clinics possible.

Krystal Balance came with her grandfather and his cat Frenchie.  She said,” My grandfather does not want kittens and there are too many cats out there.”

Tonya Feeder brought Cobbee a Yorkie to be neutered.  She said, “He is kind of crazy and is a loose wire.  I want no puppies and also want to save my house from his behavior.”

Tabatha Pacheco returns to her second clinic today with her dog Princess.  She does not want princess to have puppies as it will be “better for her and for me.”  (Tabatha brought her dog Clover to the last clinic.)

Kevin Morrow received a flier on his military housing unit.  He wants his cat Tinky to “live longer and not go into heat.”

In addition to thanking all of the people who brought their animal companions to the clinic, we want to thank a very flexible PETA clinic staff!  They took all the extra (not on the schedule) cats that arrived.  So, in total, 7 dogs and 16 cats were spayed/neutered.

Jessica Garza brought her small black dog Truman to be neutered because she “Doesn’t want puppies.”  She learned about the s/n clinic from Craig’s list.  She then called and also found the spayhr.org website.

Riley, Machida, King Tut & Jessica

Jessica Arrington, who lives in Monticello Village, said, “I’ve always known it’s [spay/neuter] the right thing to do.”  She brought her 3 cats, Riley, Machida, and King Tut to the clinic.  Jessica learned about our clinic through her neighborhood newsletter and also said that her vet at Owl Creek mentioned the s/n clinic. She reported that her cats “don’t go outside but that you never know.”

Cash & Diane

Cash was brought to the clinic by his owner Diane Wright.  He is about 18 months old and Diane said that, “he is a jumper and I am afraid he will go out and have some fun.”  Diane learned about the clinic from one of our fliers.  She lives about 2 blocks from today’s clinic site.

Belle & Brittany

Brittany Carter brought her 2 year old cat Belle to be spayed.  She received one of our fliers and reports that being spayed will “keep her healthy.”

Lora Hicks also received our flier.  She brought in 2 feral cats and reported that “our neighborhood is overrun with ferals.”

Clover

Tabatha and Andrew Pacheco brought in 1 year old Clover.  They learned about the clinic from Freecycle and reported that Clover “gets out a lot and we don’t have the means to provide for puppies.”

Tricia Duncan lives in the neighborhood and learned about the clinic because a flier was left on her car.  She brought Chibi who is about 2 years old.  Chibi became hers after she agreed to watch him for an acquaintance for one week, so that the original owner could visit her spouse who was stationed in Guam.  When the owner did not return after one week, Tricia and her husband called Guam and learned that the original owner did not plan on returning.  So, Chibi officially joined Tricia’s family.   Tricia said that when she was younger she volunteered at an animal shelter and knows how many animals are there.

Thank you to all of the wonderful people and pets who joined us this morning!
