Beat the Heat is here!

Watch this spot for the next date for the Beat the Heat low cost spay/neuter clinic. Male dogs and cats can receive the neuter surgery at that time. Dogs and cats should be brought to WHS by 8:30 a.m. Owners will be told at that time when to pick up their animal after surgery. Cost for male dogs is $30 and $20 for male cats. Both dogs and cats are required to have a current rabies vaccination. If the pet is not current at the time of surgery, Dr. Rege will administer the vaccine.Cats must be delivered in a plastic carrier with the owner's name and phone number displayed on the carrier. Dogs may come to the clinic on a collar and leash. At this time, the weight limit for dogs is 20 pounds.

Before female cats and dogs can be spayed at the clinic, WHS has to get a high-powered surgical light installed. The only estimate we have is for $1,000 and that is a lot out of our price range. If you know a contractor who might want to look at it and give us a lower bid, give us a call at 858-1132. The contractor must be licensed due to liability issues.

Owners are required to pre-register for the clinic by the day before. The cost of the surgery must be prepaid at WHS and paperwork completed. If the pet needs a rabies vaccination, please plan to pay the $10 fee in cash when you bring your pet for surgery.

Stamps to the Rescue

Stamps to the Rescue is the name of the promotional campaign created by the Postal Service to provide additional information about the stamps and pet adoption. This campaign includes posters featuring Ellen DeGeneres placed in post office across the nation and a new website — stampstotherescue.com. The post office in Newburgh has sold out of these stamps but they may still be available on line at the USPS web site.
