SNIP & FLIP

During our effort to change Fulton County’s status of being the only county in Ohio without an animal shelter, we recognize the need for immediate assistance. SNIP (Spay Neuter Immunize Pets) & FLIP (Foster Living Into Permanency) works as the Fulton County Humane Society’s Virtual Shelter (until we get brick & mortar.) We provide services that will improve the quality of our community by relieving the burden of unwanted animals.

Spay Neuter Immunize Pets SNIP is the clinical aspect of our program to reduce the number of abused, neglected and homeless pets. By partnering with multiple vets - we offer the community: Low Cost Spay/Neuter Program Low Cost Vaccine Program Micro Chip Program All pets in the FCHS System will be vetted while in foster and altered prior to adoption Spay/Neuter/Release program for feral cat population problems

Everyday 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. 20,000 Pets are Euthanized everyday - Its a painful reality that we often ignore. An animal is Euthanized every 2 seconds. 64% of all shelter animals are only euthanized because of lack of homes. Animal overpopulation has become a crisis in the United States.

Myths “My Dog is purebred, so I can breed him” 25% of all shelter dogs are Purebred “My pet is male, I will have no litters.” #1 reason for overpopulation – male animals escape to find females. “I paid good money for my pet, I should get some of it back.” It is far more expensive to have litters than S/N. “They will get fat and lazy” Pets get fat due to diet & lack of exercise. “Personality will change." Most animals change as they mature. Without a sex drive, pets are usually more agreeable "Having at least one litter will calm my female down." Calmness come with age, training and a comfort level in the home.
