ATHENS AREA HUMANE SOCIETY
SPAY & NEUTER CENTER
1781 Mars Hill Road • Watkinsville
Have questions about spaying or neutering?
Since most cats and dogs can potentially reproduce at six months old,
the Spay & Neuter Center recommenas that you have it done as soon
as the pet is "at least two months and weighs at least two
pounds." Sooner than you thought, right?
The graphic work ol Clare Leighton is on display at the GMOA through Feb. 3.

"Spaying or neutering can improve your pet’s quality of life due to health
benefits and a longer life span. It can prevent animals from developing cer
tain types of cancers that are associated with reproductive organs. Spaying
and neutering helps to prevent future litters of unwanted puppies and
kittens. Ycur pet’s behavior can change - for the better. Males will no
longer have tne desire to roam or mark territory. They are also likely
to experience decreases in aggression. This means that your pets will
have less destructive behaviors and will likely have calmer tempera
ments." Call (706) 353-2287 to make a Monday through Thursday
appointment or call the vet of your choice... soon!
