CAP
(Control Animal
Population)
FREE SPAY/NEUTER PROGRAM |
|
FREE spay/neuter surgeries are available for
dogs of Hardin County residents through Horse Creek Wildlife's
CAP (Control Animal Population) Program.
Horse Creek Wildlife Sanctuary and Animal Refuge totally funds
the CAP Program for the families of Hardin County in an effort
to prevent pet overpopulation in this area. Pet overpopulation
leads to neglect, abuse, and suffering for the dogs. |

 Helping the World through Animals 
| |
This program is making a dramatic difference in the lives of
animals in Hardin County and, in so doing, should impact their
families as well. Records show that animal abuse leads to child
abuse, spousal abuse, and criminal behavior. Many long-term benefits
may come from simply taking advantage of this FREE
program.

Spaying/Neutering is GOOD for your dog and your family:
- Dogs live longer, happier lives.
- Dogs are better, more affectionate companions.
- Dogs have lower incidence of expensive health problems
- Dogs are less likely to bite, roam the neighborhood, run
away, mark territory, or get into fights.
- It does NOT change the personality of a male dog-just makes
him calmer.
- It does NOT make dogs fat and lazy-too much food and too
little exercise do.
- Families do not have to deal with the stress of unwanted
litters that have no hope of finding good homes.

The CAP Program was founded in 2001. To date, over 6,000
family pets have been spayed/neutered at a cost of over $300,000.00.
This program is funded by Horse Creek Wildlife Sanctuary and
Animal Refuge, a 501(c)3 organization, which receives no governmental
or other outside funding.
Our goal is to reach a point where the CAP Program
is no longer needed in our county and all animals share good
lives with loving families. |
