Thank you to our partner, SpayToday
Did you know that in six years, one unspayed female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 puppies. And in seven years, one female cat and her offspring can result in 370,000 kittens.* Spaying and neutering is the single-most important thing we can do to prevent homeless dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens from a life of suffering.

One of the most common requests from clients at our pet food pantries is: Do you offer spay and neuter services?
The short answer is no, but thanks to an incredible ongoing partnership with SpayToday on the Front Range of Colorado, we have the ability to provide the next step for our clients to have a resource for their pets to be spayed or neutered, free of cost.
Thanks to funding from an anonymous donor and Pepper’s Senior Dog Sanctuary, SpayToday was able to clear the Colorado Pet Pantry waitlist and schedule free spay/neuters for all waiting clients on February 25th, World Spay Day.

Eileen Lambert, Executive Director of Colorado Pet Pantry shares, “For many years, SpayToday has helped our clients to receive a spay or neuter at no cost when times are tight. This important surgery can relieve stress in the home, improve the health of the pets, and makes a huge difference to the local animal shelters that are already at capacity. But we always have more clients that need the service than there are spaces available, so we have a running waitlist. This very generous gift from SpayToday and Pepper’s Senior Dog Sanctuary means relief for many pets and families. We can clear the deck and focus on helping people to feed the pets that are already part of their loving family.”

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Pepper’s Senior Dog Sanctuary and Colorado Pet Pantry!” shares Amira Watters, Executive Director for SpayToday. “On February 25th, we will be performing 40+ spay/neuter surgeries and preventing thousands of unwanted animals from suffering a life of homelessness and neglect. 💕 Together, we’re making a difference, one pet at a time!”
Thanks to the strength of our community, the support of our partners, and collaboration with fellow nonprofits, we are making Colorado an incredible place for pets and their families to thrive.
