WHO: Hosted by RAAC (Raiders Against Animal Cruelty)
WHEN: October 7th, all day!
WHERE: MTSU KUC Knoll
WHY: Between 3-4 million cats and dogs are euthanized in American shelters every year. The two main reasons are because people buy their pets instead of adopting animals that need a home, and the second reason being the lack of spay/neuter. This is unacceptable and we can all work together to make this number zero! In addition to cramming the van we'll also have information on low-cost spay/neuter and the benefits of adoption.
