Northside-Pet-ConnectionThrough newspaper articles and various educational efforts we have made, many people in the region have heard of Northside Pet Connection! The downside is that we receive calls for vouchers from individuals who live outside the area we serve, and we then do our best to refer these callers to agencies that might be able to help them in the town or county they live in. As a reminder, let us note that NPC serves 5 communities: Coulterville, Greeley Hill, Groveland, Lake Don Pedro, and Big Oak Flat. More information can be found in our newly updated website: npconnections.org.  Please take a look for all kinds of information. Other out-of-area individuals interested in spaying or neutering their dog or cat might try; catnipsociety.org, Sonora Cat Rescue, or the Mariposa SPCA.

We have had excellent response to our spay/neuter program at NPC. We have increased the number of vouchers to 20 per month, and usually they are all given out by the middle of the month. The value of vouchers has also increased, so, depending on which veterinarian you choose, there may be no cost to you.

The problem of pet over-population we see in our communities is magnified throughout the state and nation. In California alone, nearly one million cats and dogs are put to death every year for lack of homes. More than 60% of animals who end up in shelters die there. Yet these are healthy, affectionate, adoptable dogs and cats who deserve a loving home. What is the answer? Simply put, responsible pet ownership, starting with spaying or neutering our cats and dogs. Once again, to obtain a voucher please call (209) 732-6194.  For general information about NPC, call Carmel at (209) 878-3134.
