One of the reasons Salina Animal Services operates is to help control the population of animals in the community, and one of the services that it offers makes a direct impact on helping control the population of unwanted pets. Keeping the animal from reproducing, spaying and neutering cats and dogs, is an effective way to keep animal populations low, a service that animal services understands is a benefit to the community as a whole. “The purpose (of the spay and neuter program) is to make sure we don’t have as many puppies and kittens (in the community),” said Monique Hawley, director of Salina Animal Services.
