Overview

The Paws-itive Solution is aimed at providing spay/neuter assistance for low-income pet owners in our area. In the state of West Virginia, 75% of all animals entering shelters are killed. The problem of animal overpopulation strains the capability of municipal shelters, which are charged with animal control, not necessarily animal care. Little Victories is a no-kill shelter located in Cabell County. Each year, our county's shelter euthanizes approximately 7,000 animals. Our state and county are traditionally home to low-income people. They live in rural areas and have “farm dogs” and cats that have multiple litters, year after year. Our group spays/neuters all pets that we take in, and our county is home to one low-cost spay/neuter clinic, but it's not enough. A $25,000 grant could make a huge impact on the animal overpopulation in our area and prevent needless euthanization of animals.

How will the 25K be Used?

Budget Notes: Administrative duties will be performed by shelter volunteers and staff. There will be no grant monies dedicated to administrative costs.
$ 25,000 Spay/neuter assistance for approximately 450 low-income residents
