Article Posted 3.25.2012

Dogs, kids and adults alike enjoyed the Easter Egg Hunt and barbecue that was held on Saturday, March 24, 2012 at the Ingleside Park. There were three age groups of Easter Egg hunters, children 1 to 3 years old, children 4 to 6 years old, and children 7 to 10 years old. All were winners and had fun picking up brightly colored plastic eggs with goodies inside. And even the dogs had their own doggie biscuit hunt. T–shirts and homemade doggie biscuits were sold along with raffle tickets for filled Easter Baskets. The barbecue consisted of chicken, beans, potato salad, and drinks. Also there were cupcakes donated by Capozello's World Bakery in Corpus Christi. The K–9 Coach gave a good demonstration about dog training and answered lots of questions.

spay & neuter cost assistance funds now available for pet owners

Article Updated 2.11.2012

We still have funds available to help San Patricio County pet owners with the cost of spaying and neutering their dog(s). There is plenty of money left for assistance with spaying or neutering costs for large dogs—those at or over 40 lbs, but since our first announcement in December 2011, almost all the money set aside for small dogs—those under 40 lbs, have been allotted to San Patricio County residents who quickly took advantage of this cost assistance program. Those residents with small dogs who somehow missed the boat but are still in need of cost assistance for fixing their pets are welcome to contact us and request that we put their names on a waiting list for the next grant for which we will apply as soon as the funds allotted for large dogs under the current grant have been exhausted. Those pet owners who have large dogs can still get assistance with the costs of spaying or neutering them under this grant.

Vouchers for spay and neuter veterinary cost assistance funded by the current grant are available to San Patricio County residents only. These generous vouchers are redeemable at participating veterinary clinics within the county. If you are a San Patricio County resident who wants to take advantage of this spay and neuter cost assistance opportunity, please call us at 361.332.1445 to apply for one of these vouchers for your pet.
