JOPLIN, MO.--- The Joplin Humane Society is offering a free spaying and neutering clinic for owners of pit bulls. The surgeries will be held every Tuesday in February.
The event will be paid for with money raised from fundraisers throughout the year. A normal spay and neuter could cost more than $100. Organizers say the number of Pit Bulls out number the amount of people adopting them.
"If you love your pit bull, you will spay your pit bull. We see so many bully mix puppies come through the door. Again, the number of homes available for them is limited. We feel like this is an opportunity for us to do the right thing," said Lysa Fisher, Shelter Manager.
If you would like to sign up for the event you can call 417-623-36-42.
