Nonprofit groups in the county that offer spay and neutering services for animals are invited to apply for a grant from Clark County’s Animal Protection and Control Advisory Board to support their efforts.
The board, which has offered the grant for the last 17 years, has $15,000 in grant money to help animal-oriented nonprofits. Past recipients have included local groups such as Second Chance Companions and the Humane Society, according to Paul Scarpelli, animal control manager.
Programs that assist people in spaying and neutering their pets help cut down on the number of animals that are unwanted or that end up in a shelter.
Groups seeking grants can find application information at www.clark.wa.gov/development/animals/spay_neuter.html. They also can call Adrienne Powers at 360-397-2375 ext. 5852 or email her at adrienne.powers@clark.wa.gov.
