Spay Day USA
Spay Day USA takes place each year on the last Tuesday of February. Spay Day USA is America’s first and ONLY national day of action to promote the spaying or neutering of pets. During pay Day USA, veterinarians and their staff, animal welfare professionals, business owners, and concerned citizens join
forces nationwide to spay or neuter as many animals as possible, and to promote spay/neuter as an essential component of good pet health care, in addition to being an effective and humane means of decreasing the euthanasia of homeless animals in shelters.
During Spay Day USA’s first fourteen years, participants spayed or neutered more than 1,418,500 animals! When you consider how prolific animals are, and that the average cost for shelters to handle each homeless animal is $176 it is clear that Spay Day USA participants have, potentially, prevented millions of surplus births and saved millions of dollars.
Look for a coupon in the Thursday and Friday editions of the Kearney Hub which gives pet owners a 20% discount on spays and neuters scheduled in February at participating veterinarians. Or stop by the Shelter to get one.
Give A Day. Get a Disney Day.
There are so many reasons to celebrate. Birthdays. Anniversaries. Reunions. Or any of life's most special moments. But this year, Disney Parks is celebrating something new and that’s the good things people do for their communities. In 2010, Disney wants to inspire one million people to volunteer a day of service to a participating organization in their communities and celebrate their good works by giving each of them one day admission to a theme park at Disneyland® Resort or Walt Disney World® Resort, free.
Starting January 1, 2010, Guests can go to www.disneyparks.com to search for volunteer opportunities made available through HandsOn Network and sign up for a day of volunteer service. As the nation’s largest volunteer network, HandsOn Network has 250 on-the-ground volunteer action centers across the country and connects volunteers to more than 70,000 nonprofit agencies that need their help. And the Kearney Area Humane Society is one of the participating organizations!
After attending volunteer orientation at the Shelter, volunteers must register at DisneyParks.com. Ticket quantities for this program are limited. Must be at least age 6 to participate. Other terms and conditions apply. For details, see DisneyParks.com.
Volunteers can now share in the fun and excitement of the Give A Day. Get A Disney Day. Tour. Visit http://disney.prizelogic.com for photos, videos, tweets and more.
