Lac Seul First Nation, in partnership with the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society (OSPCA), successfully spayed or neutered over 60 animals—37 cats and 25 dogs—during a community animal wellness Frenchman’s Head, Ont. The clinic’s efforts will help prevent an estimated 3,000 unplanned puppies and kittens. In addition to the spay/neuter procedures, the event offered 30 animal wellness appointments, during which 159 vaccines were administered.

The event was one of OSPCA’s MASH-style spay/neuter and wellness clinics, a mobile event designed to be easily packed up and transported as needed—allowing the OSPCA to reach out to underserved and remote communities.

“This spay/neuter and wellness event demonstrates the positive impact we can achieve when working together for animal welfare. We are grateful to everyone who made this clinic possible and to those who brought their animals for care,” says Jonathan Kenny, animal control officer with Lac Seul First Nation.
