February is National Spay and Neuter month for family pets. Sorry that you are probably reading this in March, but you’re in luck because we have our own spay/neuter program right here on the north side. We hope this isn’t the first time you’ve heard about this. But if it is, this would be a good opportunity to learn about it.  The Northside Pet Connection is a nonprofit organization whose only goal is to improve the lives of pets.  We serve five areas on the Northside: Big Oak Flat, Greeley Hill, Lake Don Pedro, Coulterville, and Groveland.  To obtain a voucher to assist with the cost of spaying/neutering your pet, call (209) 732-6194, and record your message as directed.  You will receive a follow up phone call from our coordinator, Kathleen.  When you receive your voucher, present it to your veterinarian.  Part or all of the cost of spaying/neutering your dog or cat will be covered. 

The NPC has no employees; everything is done by volunteers.  We welcome new members and appreciate donations.   We meet on the first Monday of every month at the Coulterville Community Center, on the corner of Broadway and Cemetery.  All are welcome to attend a meeting to learn more about the organization.  If interested, please call Tom at (209) 285-3503.

As usual, thanks for your support of Northside Pet Connection.
