When I wanted to get Lovey spayed, a vet working at NARL did it as a favor. That's the way it was in the Bush years ago. You had no access to services for your animals and that made the loose dog problem at least a little more understandable. It's so sad to see loose dogs running through our villages unwanted and unsocialized today when there are services available. They are the end product of owners who, for reasons I simply can't fathom, refuse to have their dogs spayed or neutered.
All pets deserve to be loved and have a good home.
None of them deserve to be killed. Yet every year in Barrow, we kill more than 100 unwanted dogs. Multiply that out for every village and city in this country and you start to get a glimpse at the unbelievable carnage that results from not being a responsible pet owner. So do yourself, your community, and your pet a favor and get them spayed or neutered. Do it because you love them.
