August 16, 2018 - Happy Summer!  The Northside Pet Connection (NPC) members hope that you and your pet have enjoyed the season even though it has been smoky.

The Northside Pet Connection will be having its annual fundraiser at the 49er Festival in Groveland (September 15) and the CoyoteFest in Coulterville (September 22).  Jo and Joe Balch will be selling their beautiful hybridized irises. Profits from this fundraiser will be used to support our spay/neuter and medical voucher programs.

Please remember to support the Northside Pet Connection (NPC) by volunteering and/or donating.  If you cannot attend the festivals, you can help the NPC by adding it to your Mar Val Community card or Save Mart Shares card. NPC also participates in the Amazon Smiles program.  There are also donation boxes in the towns that the NPC serves. Finally, you can mail a tax-deductible donation to: Northside Pet Connection, P.O. Box 411, Coulterville, CA 95311.

The Northside Pet Connection’s main mission is to assist in the spay and neuter of cats and dogs throughout the Northside.  We do this by providing spay and neuter vouchers that greatly reduces the cost to pet owners. The towns we serve include: Groveland, Big Oak Flat, Coulterville, La Grange, Don Pedro and surrounding communities.

In July, the NPC distributed 48 spay and neuter vouchers and 10 medical vouchers.  All vet clinics do accept these vouchers which substantially reduces the cost of spay and neuter.  A list of local vets are located on our website: https://npconnections.org/vets.

Please call (209) 732-6194 to request vouchers.  For Spanish speakers, please call (209) 852-9440. When making a request, please provide your name, phone number, mailing address, and how many vouchers are needed.  Messages are checked weekly.
