Denver Pet Partners joins forces with the American Humane Association in order to advance their human-animal bond initiative.
"Our work motivates rehabilitation patients to walk again, children in special education classrooms to learn important life skills, facilitates counseling sessions in a mental health center and takes away the loneliness of residents in long-term care facilities. Our work also gives animals a very important job to do. It's a win-win!"

Spay Day! Spay or Neuter Your Dog or Cat
What are the benefits of making sure your pet can't have puppies or kittens?
* peace of mind that puppies or kittens won't be euthanized in an animal shelter. Often good homes cannot be found for abandoned puppies and kittens
* don't add to overpopulation.
* be kind to your community. Abandoned unwanted animals may get into trash containers, defecate in the neighborhood and bite or attack.
* no mess and problems with stray dogs or cats coming around to visit your female animal in heat
* prevent possible future health problems such as ovarian, mammary and uterine cancers in female dogs or cats
Licensed veterinarians perform the spay or neuter operation while the pet is under anesthesia. Depending on your pet's age, size and health, he or she will stay at your veterinarian's office for a few hours or a few days. Early age spay/neuter is safe and effective, so talk with your veterinarian at your pet's first visit.
Spay Day USA is the last Tuesday of February, but events and activities take place throughout the month of February. The 14th annual Spay Day USA is Feb. 26, 2008.
