The 17th annual Spay Day is Feb. 22, 2011.
Spay Day an annual event of The Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International to inspire people to save animals’ lives by spaying or neutering pets and feral cats. Spay Day officially takes place on the last Tuesday of February—but events will be running all through the month!

This is a great opportunity to celebrate our pets, raise funds for spaying and neutering, and win great prizes!
