Patuxent Animal Welfare Society aka PAWS recently purchased a historic house on one acre of land in Huntingtown that will be Calvert County's NEW and much needed low cost spay/neuter/wellness pet clinic. Volunteers are currently working diligently to convert it into a clinic. Help is needed; especially a carpenter and a plumber. Pls call 410-326-1616 to volunteer time, supplies, or money.
This clinic will replace the Pet Taxi which will continue to run until the date the clinic is open. Available for healthy pets four months to six years, appointments are available at 410-326-1616. Every Wednesday morning at 7:30, pets and their owners meet at a parking lot in Prince Frederick, the paperwork is signed, and the pet is logged aboard the Taxi for the ride to Charles County Humane Society Spay/ Neuter Clinic at low-cost prices. (For instance, a cat spay is $65; the required vaccinations are $24.) The pets are returned to their owners at the same spot at 6 that evening. The Pet Taxi is operated by Patuxent Animal Welfare Society, Inc (PAWS) and Friends of Felines (FoF) volunteers.
There is also the Promise Wagon, a fully-licensed mobile spay/neuter clinic. It is scheduled monthly by PAWS at the Calvert Animal Welfare League (CAWL) shelter. The next date is Sunday, September 20. Call 410-586-1332 for an appointment for low-cost spay/neuter or vaccinations and testing. The clinic is additionally staffed by PAWS, FoF, Calvert County Humane Society, and CAWL volunteers.
If the low-cost is still too expensive for families, they can call Stop Pet Overpopulation Thrift store (SPOT) at 410-562-6516 to request a grant. SPOT operates a thrift store in St. Leonard at 5151 St. Leonard Road and uses the profit to fund spay/neuter grants. Please shop there and donate your unneeded items to SPOT. The store number is 410-586-8458.
