Ventura County is taking its efforts to prevent pet overpopulation to the streets. Thanks to some grants, the county is starting a new mobile spay and neuter program.
The Animal Services Foundation of Ventura County is giving a fully outfitted, $250,000 mobile veterinary trailer to Ventura County Animal Services.
A second, $1.7 million donation will fund four new veterinary positions for three years. It will pay for a veterinarian, a registered veterinary technician, and two veterinary assistants.
The foundation is a nonprofit formed to help support the work of the county agency to save the lives of pets.
The idea is that by making low-cost spay and neuter services more readily available, it will reduce pet overpopulation and lower the demand for shelter space.
