Operation Pitnip

Free Spays and Neuters for Pit Bulls and Pit Mixes in Alachua County

Hurricane Katrina made it painfully obvious that Pit Bulls suffer the worst overall conditions and treatment of any breed in America. Of all the thousands of animals abandoned when residents of New Orleans fled, an estimated FORTY PERCENT were Pit Bulls. Many were left to drown, starve, or get by on their own. When animal rescue groups began coming in to New Orleans, they shipped rescued dogs to shelters all over the country, and none of them were prepared for the massive numbers of Pits.

In 2006 and 2007, nearly one-third of all dogs killed in shelters across the U.S. were Pit Bulls--not because they were mean, but because there were just too many.

In conjunction with West End Animal Hospital, PetSmart Charities, Florida Animal Friends License Plates, and No More Homeless Pets, Helping Hands Rescue instituted a FREE spay and neuter program for Pit Bulls and Pit Crosses in Alachua County.

The surgery is TOTALLY FREE. The only requirement is that the dog be a resident of Alachua County and have a current Alachua County Rabies Tag.
Please be part of the solution, not part of the problem. If you let your Pit have even ONE litter, you are contributing to the problem.

Call 472-7626 today to schedule your Pittie's surgery and do your part for the breed you love.
