Our Current Programs: Spay/Neuter Voucher Program: Our Spay/Neuter Assistance Voucher Program is currently out of funding. As we get funding, vouchers will be made available again. Vouchers are used like a coupon for either $35 off a cat spay, $25 off a cat neuter, $50 off a dog spay or $40 off a dog neuter. Call 615-464-6104 to get a voucher code prior to making an appointment with either the Animal Clinic of Smithville @ 615-597-1726, DeKalb Animal Clinic @ 615-597-1950 or Wheeler Animal Clinic @ 615-597-3770. Vouchers are available as long as funding lasts. Vouchers will not be issued retroactively. Mobile Spay Station Visits to DeKalb County, TN: Freckles' Friends sponsors New Leash on Life Mobile Spay Station visits to DeKalb County. The spay station provides spay/neuter surgeries to pets in low-income families for a donation of only what they can afford. You must be on one of the following programs to qualify: Food Stamps, WIC, Public Housing, Disability, Unemployment, SSI, Families First or Medicaid. An appointment is required. Call 615-464-6104 or 615-444-1196 to schedule an appointment for your pets. There is no charge if your pet is in heat or pregnant. Also, kittens and puppies can be spayed or neutered as long as they weigh 2 pounds or more and they should be at least 3 months old. TNR (Trap, Neuter and Release) Program: Thanks to Dr. Mark Burke, we no longer have to wait for a clinic day to trap feral cats and get them neutered. Now we can take them to Dr. Burke as we can trap them and he will perform the surgery. After their recovery, the cats are returned to their territory and released. This method has been proven effective in reducing the number of feral cats in many areas of the country. Thanks to the Petco Foundation for funding for this program! We also have a volunteer that will transport feral cats to the New Leash on Life Snip and Tip program one weekend each month. If you know of a feral cat colony that needs to be trapped, please call 615-464-6104. VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED to help trap these cats around the county. Call 615- 464-6104 if you can help. We need your help. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to Freckles' Friends so that we can continue these programs which are so important to our community.

| Freckles' Friends does not adopt out pets. We do offer courtesy listings to area residents looking for homes for pets. These pets are not in the care of Freckles' Friends and we cannot vouch for their health or behavior. If you give one of these pets a home, and we hope that you will, please take them to a vet as soon as possible for a full checkup and neutering to prevent unwanted litters. |
