JERSEY CITY, NJ - JULY 24:  A pit bull looks out from a cage in the Liberty Humane Society shelter July 24, 2007 in Jersey City, New Jersey. According to animal shelter statistics, around one-third of all dogs coming into shelters nationwide are pit bulls, up from just 2 to 3 percent fifteen years ago. An estimated 40,000 people are involved in illegal professional dogfighting in the U.S. which often involves pit bulls. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)

Just an FYI to folks or finders of stray animals that one plans to keep around and not take to the shelters.  I truly believe that most people want to do the right thing but may not even know what programs are available to help with spaying/ neutering them so here is a list.  If anyone knows of any other local programs please pass the information along.

For $20 you can purchase a voucher at the Chatham County Animal Shelter that includes the spay/ neuter and rabies vaccine.
