Grant aids Aiken SPCA’s Spay and Neuter Fund.
The Aiken Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is the recipient of a challenge grant, which will help low-income households spay and neuter their pets if they have not been able to receive a voucher.
Linda Darden, a seasonal resident of Aiken who helped found Vermont’s North County Animal League, will match up to $5,000 of 2009-10 donor contributions to the Aiken SPCA Spay and Neuter Fund.
Board President Barbara Nelson wrote in an e-mail that the SPCA will use the funds generated by Darden’s challenge grant to assist those individuals who are not able to obtain a spay/neuter voucher from the Aiken County Animal Shelter.
Because of the program’s popularity, the County Shelter has begun rationing vouchers to 25 a month and one per household. Officials are afraid the money allocated will be depleted before the end of the fiscal year.
It has happened before. The $30,000 that Aiken County Council earmarked for the program last fiscal year ran out in nine months. Full Story…
