To Prevent Strays Low-price Spay Program Starts A low-cost neutering and spay P ing program was started this week to try to eliminate the population of stray dogs and cats in Hoke County in the near future. Sheryl McGinnis said Monday the Hoke County-Raeford Humane Society had been formed and associated with the national Friends of Animals, based in New York. The low-cost program is open to Q any pet owner, regardless of his or her level of income. Mrs. McGinnis said the costs are $15 for spaying a female cat, $30 for spaying a female dog, $10 for neutering a male cat, and $18 for neutering a male dog. The Friends of Animals pays the difference between what the pet owner pays and what the regular fee of the veterinarian is. She added that the Humane a Society would subsidize operations ^ for pets of low-income owners who cannot afford the low prices of the program. They would be required to show evidence they can't pay even the reduced price. Mrs. McGinnis also said that the FoA won't pay for spaying or neutering of animals of people who plan to have their pets de clawed . ^ The procedure works like this, w she explained. The pet owner obtains a registra tion form by mail by writing Mrs. McGinnis, Hoke County-Raeford Humane Society, Rt. 4, Box 410C, Raeford, 28376; or by coming to the office at 112 S. Main St., bet ween 8 and 9 a.m. Mondays through Fridays. After filling out the form, the pet owner returns it to Mrs. McGinnis with payment for the desired spaying or neuter ? ing. In turn the pet owner is given a Friends of Animals certificate. Then the pet owner gives the cer tificate to the veterinarian, and the operation is performed. Pet owners interested also can reach Mrs. McGinnis by telephone at home (875-3283) or office (875-8861). If no one is at the home when the call is made, the caller will be answered by a recor A ding, and may leave his or her name and telephone number so the call can be returned. Mrs. McGinnis and Dr. Russell Tate, owner of Raeford Animal Clinic at College Drive and Harris Avenue (near the intersection of US 401 South Bypass) is the only veterinarian in this area (including Cumberland County) who is par ticipating in the new program so far.

Mrs. McGinnis said the local Humane Society is trying to raise money for the Friends of Animals for the county contribution and also to help pay for a proposed new Hoke County animal shelter or for improvements to the present pound. The fundraising will be done by bake sales and sales of educational materials and novelties (like the $1 key ring), as well as receiving donations and benefac tors. She said volunteers will be sought to help with the special events, such as the bake sales. Mrs. McGinnis also said that eventually she hopes to get to the schools to give the children infor mation about humane treatment of animals. The society also will spread the word through the public about the importance of having pets vaccinated against rabies par ticularly, and other contagious diseases. The Humane Society is nonmembership, she said, since the primary purpose at present is to get people to have their pets spayed and neutered to prevent production of stray animals. The membership of the Humane Society consists of Mrs. McGinnis, her husband, John, and her father, Jack Letzgus, who are listed as the directors of the nonprofit Humane Society's charter or incorporation issued by the state. She said the society also is listed officially by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, so that all dona tions are tax-deductible.
