Operation Fix-it accomplishes major milestone!!!

December 21^st, 2011 marked the 30,000 animal spayed/neutered through the Operation Fix-it program.  Pet overpopulation has been an issue for Kalamazoo County for many years.

Since 2002 Operation Fix-it has continued to spay and neuter more and more animals each year. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the Operation Fix-it staff and our many donors this program has prevent the birth of many puppies and kittens helping reduce the number of unwanted and homeless pets in our community.
