Business : Low cost spay/neuter clinic

Friends of the Shelter, Inc. is spreading the word about The Iowa Humane Alliance plans to build a low cost spay & neuter clinic in the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City area. The clinic will serve 41 Iowa counties within a 90 mile radius of the clinic location and will offer free transport services to and from the clinic for animals in remote areas. The Iowa Humane Alliance Community Spay/Neuter Clinic will be the first clinic in Iowa offering high-volume, low cost spay/neuter services on a daily basis. This clinic will sterilize more than 8,000 companion animals a year for shelters, animal rescue groups, and the general public. It will employ a full-time veterinarian, veterinarian technicians and assistants, a transport coordinator, a clinic manager, and a director. Iowa Humane Alliance "Every Day is Spay Day" major gift campaign is directed at opening a high-quality, high-volume, low-cost spay/neuter clinic in 2011. They have raised $50,000 for the first phase of this project and are now hoping to raise $200,000 from public donations.
