When the Richmond SPCA first began providing high-volume, free and low-cost spay/neuter surgeries to pets throughout Richmond eight years ago, our good and very creative friends at Barber Martin Agency designed a series of edgy advertisements to promote these essential services. Slogans such as “This time we’ll fetch the balls” and “Great news for your dog, not to mention your leg” raised eyebrows, but more importantly, they motivated pet guardians throughout our community to important action. Since 2004, our Smoky’s Spay/Neuter Clinic has performed more than 85,000 spay and neuter surgeries for dogs and cats, which has distinguished it as one of the most successful high-volume sterilization operations anywhere in the country. But with more than 3 million homeless animals still dying annually in shelters nationwide for the lack of a home, spaying and neutering remains an important tool to reducing the population of orphaned pets. Our continued promotion of the availability of affordable sterilization services in our Smoky’s Spay/Neuter Clinic remains critical, and we need your help spreading this message. The folks at Barber Martin Agency are back at it, and they’ve recently designed a series of new posters to promote our ongoing low-cost spay and neuter campaign. With catchy phrases such as “She walks around naked all day. What do you expect?” they are sure to get some attention. Check out the new artwork and consider posting one or more of these images, along with a link to www.richmondspca.org/clinic, to your own blog or share with your social media network and encourage pet guardians you know to do the right thing – spay or neuter their pets. (Click any image at left to view full size.) We will also post these to our Facebook page to make them easy to share. Surgery fees in the Richmond SPCA Smoky’s Spay/Neuter Clinic range from $30 to $75. Pets can receive other low-cost services, such as preventative vaccinations, the day of surgery.

Our clinic operates Tuesday through Thursday and performs more than 10,000 surgeries each year. Be responsible, protect your companion and do your part to end pet homelessness in our community.
