Spay, neuter program adopted MT. PLEASAN- T- North Sanpete County residents may get their dogs and cats spayed or neutered for a small fee under a new program set up by Mt. Pleasant City and the Sanpete County Heritage Council. The program is open to the first 75 people who apply and is limited to one animal per household. Typically, the cost of spaying or neutering an animal ranges from $55 to $70. Persons interested in the spay and neuter program must fill out an application at Mt. Pleasants City Hall and pay the fee. Then they will be given a voucher and the names of two participating veterinarians, Malcolm Loomis or R.K. Hedelius. They must call and schedule their own appointments with the veterinarian and present the voucher. All dogs that are, being spayed or neutered must be licensed. Mt. Pleasant City and the Sanpete County Heritage Council are paying the two veterinarians a flat rate for each dog or cat they spay or neuter, using funds from the Summerlee Foundation grant. For information or applications contact city hall at 462-250- 462-245- or 6 2. "This is a wonderful program. It gives people from North Sanpete County an opportunity to have their pets spayed or neutered at a tremendous savings," says Jeff Rappleye, Mt. Pleasants animal control officer. The Summerlee Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in Dallas, TX, is. set up to promote animal protection and prevent cruelty to animals. The foundation appropriated $6,500 to the city and heritage council last December to fund improvements to Mt. Pleasants animal shelter. The shelter serves about 12,000 people in Mt. Pleasant and surrounding communities. One of the conditions of the grant was that $2,500 be used to set up a formal spay and neuter policy to help reduce the countys unwanted animal population. To become mature is to recover that sense of seriousness which one had as a child at play.
