Joining forces for Spay/Neuter Month, Found Animals Foundation and the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation are doubling donations with the “Dollar for Dollar Donation Match Program” in order to reduce the plight of pet overpopulation.
Through the month of February, dog devotees and fans of felines can make a contribution on Found Animals Foundation’s website, choosing one of three facilities to benefit from the donation: Clinico, a low cost spay/neuter and vaccination facility which operates in Van Nuys, San Pedro and Pico Rivera; Spay4LA, a state-of-the-art, 33-foot spay/neuter clinic in Southeast Los Angeles, and FixNation. Each dollar donated will be matched up to $30,000 per spay/neuter partner, for a total of $180,000 which will go toward fixing the problem of shelter overcrowding.
Donations are 100 percent tax deductible and can be contributed in any denomination.
