Introducing The PALS Program!

We are proud to announce this!!!!



As we just announced, The Friends of Powell County's Pets are the proud recipients of two amazing grants!  With these grants, FOPCP is initiating a new Spay and Neuter campaign called "The PALS Program."   PALS stands for “Prevent A Litter, Save some lives” and these grants will assist low-income families with the cost of spay and neuter surgeries in Powell County.  We believe that spaying and neutering is an essential part of responsible pet ownership.  It allows pets to continue to live longer, healthier lives.    
   If more people would spay and neuter,
we would have less animals in shelters.
Think about this...In six years, ONE dog and her puppies can be the source of 67,000 puppies.  In seven years, ONE cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 kittens.   If we can prevent a litter, we will be reducing the numbers of homeless animals and needless suffering.  This is why we conduct our Spay & Neuter Clinics.  And to date, we have altered over 800 animals.   Can you imagine the impact on our community if those 800 animals had not been treated???      
Our pound is over-run with homeless animals.
Please do not add to the animal population.
We are deeply honored to be chosen by these two amazing organizations, and we hope that the people of Powell County will join us in our PAL program.   When you prevent a litter, you will save lives.  

To apply for this financial assistance, contact the Friends of Powell County’s Pets at (606) 481-9430. These grants made possible by the ASPCA and PetSmart Charities®.
