Haines Animal Rescue Kennel would like to give a big thank you to the Chilkat Valley Community Foundation for the grant we received for assisting pet owners in need with costs of neutering and spaying their pets. At a recent Veterinary Clinic held in Haines with Trailbreaker Vets, a record number of neuter and spay surgeries were completed. HARK funds available through the CVCF grant helped residents with the financial burden of these surgeries. Spaying and neutering cats and dogs can be a benefit from better health, fewer behavior issues and a longer average lifespan. Thank you so very much on behalf of the board of directors, myself, staff and the residents.
