Welcome, and thank you for visiting our Web site! STOP the Overpopulation of Pets is dedicated to paying for spaying and neutering of dogs and cats in order to eliminate the killing of healthy, adoptable pets at Alaska’s animal control centers. Our secondary mission is to educate pet owners and potential pet owners about pet care, pet-related issues, training, pet overpopulation, and other concerns in order to better the lives of pet owners, pets, and the community. Specifically, as outlined in our bylaws, STOP’s objectives and purposes are the following:

a. To reduce pet overpopulation by assisting pet owners with the cost of spaying and neutering of dogs and cats. (We have sent out over 2,200 spay/neuter vouchers. Can you help us by donating?)

b. To educate pet owners about the problem of pet overpopulation and the need for spaying and neutering of dogs and cats.

c. To promote humane care of and responsibility toward pets by their owners.

d. To educate pet owners and others about responsible pet ownership, animal-related issues, training, and pet care.

e. To provide emergency food for dogs and cats whose owners cannot afford it (not yet funded, but we hope to receive donations & grants toward this mission!)

f. To maintain a phone line to respond to questions and requests from pet owners and others.

g. To provide a community resource for ending pet overpopulation and for providing humane education.

h. To end pet overpopulation in Alaska!

Hi!  Here is the latest STOP the Overpopulation of Pets newsletter We were lucky to have Cindy Drake, one of our board members, write it and put it together for us. Although we haven't been putting out regular newsletters, we have, especially in this economy, been deluged with requests for help from needy pet owners.  To help end the killing of healthy dogs and cats at Alaska's animal control centers, we have continued to provide our $20 - $40 spay/neuter vouchers to all who need the help to get their pets spayed.  We are the only organization to provide this service statewide.  As you can see from our veterinarian list, we have vets in Fairbanks, Valdez, the Kenai, the Mat-Su, and other areas to help serve those who need our support.
 
In 2010, we hope to pursue funding to provide a veterinarian who can travel to the villages to perform spay/neuter surgeries, a service which is badly needed.
 
Whether or not it is to STOP, if you can consider donating something this holiday season to a spay/neuter program or humane society, that will be a kindness that will be meaningful and pure.  Although those who help support animal causes or who rescue homeless dogs and cats are not often or publically praised or financially rewarded for their efforts, I wanted you to know how much I do appreciate what you are doing to help those who cannot help themselves.
 
In the spirit of Thanksgiving,
Sincerely,
Lori Jo Oswald, Ph.D.

A Prayer for Animals

Hear our humble prayer, O God, for
our friends the animals, especially for
animals who are suffering; for any that are
hunted or lost or destroyed or frightened
or hungry; for all that must be put to death.
We entreat for them all Thy mercy and pity
and for those who deal with them we ask
a heart of compassion and gentle hands and
kindly words. Make us, ourselves, to be true
friends to animals and so to share the
blessings of the merciful. -Albert Schweitzer
