SF Animal Shelterwill receive giftNew Mexico Kennel Club President Evelyn Stark will present $5,000 to the Santa Fe Animal Shelter for its spay-neuter program at a luncheon Saturday, at the Town House.The money will help the Animal Shelter continue its spaying and neutering of dogs adopted from the shelter. The program had been curtailed for a lack of funds. Now the shelter will again be able to assure people who adopt male and female dogs that a part of the veterinarian's fee for spaying or neutering will be paid by the shelter.The spay-neuter program should help in cutting down the numbers of unwanted puppies born in Santa Fe each year, a shelter representative said. This animal control program is a community service. The shelter handles hundreds of homeless puppies and kittens each year. Those not adopted must be humanely destroyed, as shelter facilities and finances are not adequate to allow It to keep an animal and feed it for any length of time.The animal shelter’s purpose 5s to provide a place where homeless dogs and cats can be brought, rather than running in the streets.The Santa Fe Animal Shelter relies on donations. Gifts donated to the shelter are tax-deductible, as the shelter is a non-profit organization.
