2024 Accomplishments
Fixing Montgomery County
We are ecstatic to announce that our FMC program is expanding the work that we do in our communities in 2024. regarding spay/neuter services. We have spayed/neutered 150 pets in our local communities (as of early February). We have some BIG announcements coming soon, so stay tuned for event announcements. We continue to do schedule appointments at with our animal rescue partner clinics. . We could not have accomplished this without our Veterinary partners at Bear Branch Animal Hospital and Stone Ridge Veterinary Services (Willis) and Laurel's House Mobile Unit/Fido Fixers. We cannot wait to see what the remainder of 2024 will yield.
LSAWL partners to bring services into local communities!
We are proud to partner with organizations (East Montgomery County Community Foundation, Montgomery County Community Foundation and Houston PetSet, to provide spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping and HW testing for animals in specific areas of Montgomery County. It has been a dream come true for us to bring veterinary services directly to communities where we see high rates of stray animals. We know that by eliminating the unwanted litters, we reduce the strain on our local shelters. At the beginning of 2021, we held on average, one event per month. We quickly discovered the need was greater than we imagined and increased this to two events per month. We saw an increase in costs across these supplies and labor charges in 2022, and with the help of our donors, sponsors and grant funding we have been able to continue these efforts throughout 2023. As we enter 2024, we are looking at ways to increase the availability of these services - follow our Facebook page to be updated as these new dates are announced.
Senior Pet Food Pantry
With changes in the local economy, LSAWL decided that we would sponsor a Pet Food Pantry once per month in the New Caney area of Texas. We deliver to the area, on a first come first serve basis, a variety of items that help take some of the financial stress of owning a pet off of the Senior Citizen community. We definitely welcome donations both monetary and through our Amazon Registry that significantly helps people and pets.
In previous months, we have served between 40 & 50 animals by providing food and other supplies (collars, beds, blankets & toys - depending on what we have collected). See link below if you would like to participate.
Microchipping
LSAWL offers microchipping at times throughout the year (typically once per quarter) free of charge to our local community. We partner with Gillman Subaru North, as a Share the Love recipient, to spread the word of the importance of microchipping and identification of pets. Dates and times of these events can be found advertised on our Facebook page and via the Gillman Subaru North Social Media accounts.
LSAWL is sponsoring Microchipping events at Animal Shelters around country. In addition to the 530 animals that our group has microchipped, we have sent funds to microchip 100 other animals across the country. We are encouraging adopters to microchip (and register) their chips so that their pets will returned to them if they should ever find themselves missing or lost.
