“Cherish Your Chihuahua” Campaign offers $20 Chihuahua Spay/Neuter

Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes are some of the most at risk pets entering U.S. shelters each year. The Humane Society of San Bernardino valley with funding support from PetSmart Charities, the largest funder of animal welfare efforts in North America, are addressing the problem by introducing the “Cherish Your Chihuahua ” spay/neuter campaign. Through the “Cherish Your Chihuahua” campaign, The Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley will offer a special $20 spay/neuter surgery and free nail trim for Chihuahua and Chihuahua mixes during the month of August. “Spaying/neutering a pet is the most effective thing a pet parent can do to prevent unwanted litters from being born and contributing to the homeless pet overpopulation problem,” says Jill Henderson, Development & Community Outreach Coordinator for the HSSBV. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) endorses spaying and neutering puppies as young as eight to 10 weeks old. Research also shows that the procedure may improve the behavior and health of the pet, including reducing the risk of certain reproductive cancers and infections. This special $20 rate is even less than the organization’s normal low-cost priced and is available to all residents of the Inland Empire. Pet parents who wish to take advantage of this offer must mention the “Cherish Your Chihuahua” campaign when they call to schedule their appointment. The campaign is based on availability, while funding lasts. Thanks to the PetSmart Charities grant, HSSBV will provide 50 “Cherish Your Chihuahua” sterilizations for $20 in August. Please visit www.hssbv.org or call 909-386-1400 for more information or to schedule an appointment. PetSmart Charities’ “Cherish Your Chihuahua” campaign provides more than $136,496 to spay/neuter clinics to fund affordable, high-quality spay and neuter surgeries for more than 2,856 Chihuahua dogs across the nation during the month of August.
