There, they teamed up with the Twin County Humane Society and Homeward Trails Animal Rescue to offer free spay\/neuter surgeries to 150 dogs and their grateful guardians. They worked tirelessly over the course of two days and not only spayed and neutered all the dogs but also vaccinated and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/lifestyle\/animal-companions\/microchip\/\">microchipped<\/a> them.

It\u2019s up to their guardians to make the responsible choice to have them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/issues\/animal-companion-issues\/overpopulation\/spay-neuter\/\">spayed or neutered<\/a> in order to help curb the companion animal overpopulation crisis, but sometimes resources aren\u2019t accessible or even available.<\/p>\n<p>The demand for appointments at our temporary clinic in Galax was so overwhelming that there was a waitlist. Several factors are at play that are making the affordability of spay\/neuter surgeries for Virginians more difficult, especially in underserved areas: the veterinary workforce shortage; inflation, which leads to rising service costs; and high demand. PETA is working to reduce the number of homeless animals while also helping to care for dogs and cats in need without putting financial strain on their guardians.
