WHO: GreaterGood Charities’ Good Fix program will collaborate with the Northern Oklahoma Humane Society to offer free spay/neuter surgeries for dogs and cats (owned and free roaming) in the Ponca City area at a high-quality/high-volume spay and neuter clinic. Dogs and cats that are spayed or neutered at the clinic are also eligible for free vaccinations and microchips. The sterilization of hundreds of dogs and cats will help prevent unwanted litters across the area and humanely minimize the free-roaming dog and cat population overtime. Good Fix Ponca City is made possible by the Boehringer Ingelheim Cares Foundation, Banfield Foundation, and Oatamars.
