The $20 fix
From the Herald Sun:
I suspect that my readership is probably not the target audience for this program (just a hunch, i'm not using any supersecret DHS software to figure out who's actually on the other end of the screen), but you can probably post this around to local listservs, neighborhood newsletters, etc. That's what i'll be doing.
'THE $20 FIX' offered for pets
DURHAM -- AnimalKind's "THE $20 FIX" program, The Animal Protection Society of Durham, the Spay-Neuter Assistance Program of NC and the city Parks and Recreation Department are collaborating to prevent accidental pet pregnancies this summer.
"THE $20 FIX" provides financial assistance to residents who otherwise would not be able to afford the cost of spaying or neutering their pets -- specifically, adult Medicaid participants and households below specific income thresholds -- $13,000 to $25,000 gross, depending on the number of people in each household.
Durham residents can request an application for THE $20 FIX financial assistance program by calling (919) 870-1660, online at www.animalkind.org, at the APS of Durham shelter on East Club Boulevard, or at either Durham County Social Services location.
THE $20 FIX also can finance rabies vaccinations.

Since 1949, Durhamites have slept soundly, secure in the knowledge that, in our town, erection can be depended upon. Now, thanks to the power of the internets, we can spread that security all over the world.

I honestly hope a program like this work, but I'm awfully skeptical that the cost of a fix is a major reason dog owners don't have it done. It costs a lot of money to care for a dog over the course of a number of years, and fixing the dog is a small percentage.
Random comment from the internet:
I have a pekingese, toy size, worth $2,000 could be worth more lol. So I haven't fixed her because I wanted her to have the chance to have puppies, I have a 12 year old cat that I feel bad for fixing because she didn't get a chance to have kittens.
