Dutch Miller Subaru Donates to The Fix'Em Clinic. - Jason J.
Dutch Miller Subaru stopped by The Fix'Em Clinic to make a donation to help out this great organization who helps so many pets in our community. The Fix'Em Clinic is an ASPCA-affiliated 501(c)3 non-profit veterinary clinic located in Charleston, West Virginia. They are not income-based nor have geographic restrictions – they welcome anyone to use their services! Their mission is to provide high-quality, high-volume, yet affordable spay/neuter and wellness services as a humane, sustainable solution to the overpopulation of homeless cats and dogs in our region. In alliance with their mission, they are dedicated to promoting spay/neuter and educating the community on its benefits. Sadly, an estimated 2.7 million adoptable cats and dogs are euthanized in the United States every year simply because there simply aren’t enough homes. Therefore, the only way to control the pet overpopulation crisis and needless deaths of healthy, adoptable animals is by decreasing birth rates. Since opening in February 2018, they have sterilized over 33,000 animals and counting! Spay/neuter is not only highly effective when trying to manage population, but it’s also one of the best things you can do for your pet to keep them happy and healthy! Our donation will go towards helping this great organization to continue with their mission of helping animals in our community. We look forward to working with them in the future.
