Unprecedented Achievements from Us, the Citizens of “Our” Community

  • Institution of a low cost spay/neuter clinic that has resulted in 1,500 pet sterilizations that prevented the birth of 13,000 (first generation) dogs and cats
  • Administration of 5,000 rabies vaccinations enabling citizens to comply with state law and making the community safer from human rabies exposure
  • Formation of Whitney High School Paw Pals Club; we proudly applaud these young citizens who are working hard to help make a difference for Hill County animals
