Owners can get paid for having pit bulls neutered
There are still about 50 openings available for a spay/neuter clinic Sunday that will pay pit bull owners to fix their pets.
Spay/Neuter Kansas City is offering low-cost spay and neuter services and financial assistance to those who could not otherwise afford the services.
Pets from targeted ZIP codes will receive $5 rabies vaccinations and low-cost spay/neuter services. Owners of pit bulls can receive a $20 incentive to have their pets spayed or neutered. ZIP codes to receive the discounts include: 64124, 64125, 64126, 64127, 64109, 64130, 64128, 64132, 64131 and 64134.
Those ZIP codes are major problem areas for stray dogs, animal bites and other animal regulation problems, according to officials.
Rabies vaccinations are $5 for the pets of all other Kansas City, Mo., residents and $12 for non-residents. At the event, pet owners must purchase a city license, which is $7 for altered pets.
The spay/neuter clinic with cash incentives for pit bull owners is by appointment only Sunday at the Midtown Clinic, 3710 Main St. Absolutely no walk-ins will be accepted, so call (816) 353-0940 for an appointment.
The program is a partnership of Spay and Neuter Kansas City, Kansas City Missouri Animal Control, Wayside Waifs and AnimalKind.
