Friends Of The Manchester Animal Shelter

Quick fix program - a low cost spay/neuter program for low income residents of manchester. The clinic will spay/neuter and give vaccines to cats that are owned by low income families of manchester. The clinics are held twice a month. This is a very important program for the shelter. Spay/neuter is the only way to reduce the number of stray cats and kittens that come into our shelter. It was established in october of 2009 and over 748 cats and rabbits were spayed/neutered this year.

Fix a pit - a program to encourage responsible pit bull ownership and ultimately lower the euthanasia rate of the breed and unwanted puppies /adults. Pit bulls have become a breed of choice and consequently are flooding animal shelters. An estimated 1/3 of dogs that enter animal shelters are pit bulls or pit bull mixes. Our program includes free spay/neuter, free rabies vaccinations and free microchip. This helped owners of 100 pit bulls in the city of manchester this year.
