Councilman Matt O’Malley Introduces World Spay Day Resolution

HUGE THANKS to Councilman Matt O’Malley for introducing a resolution to Boston City Council acknowledging World Spay Day in Boston!

Before the Boston City Council convened, Councilman Matt O’Malley took a pre-meeting with Jenny Lee, an adorable adoptable dog our friends at the MSPCA brought to celebrate the occasion.

World Spay Day is celebrated on the last Tuesday of Spay/Neuter Awareness Month – also known as February – to raise awareness and increase spay/neuter rates among owned, stray, and feral cats and dogs.

Councilman O’Malley invited representatives from the ARL, Boston Animal Control, and MSPCA to join him on the podium as he introduced the resolution.  He highlighted the importance of spay and neuter efforts to prevent animal homelessness, as well as the work the ARL and MSPCA do make spay/neuter affordable and accessible to Boston residents.

Thank you to the entire Boston City Council for supporting efforts to increase spay and neuter rates!

Need more information about why It’s Hip to Snip? The ARL is deeply committed to preventing animal homelessness from happening in the first place.  Because so many of the animals in shelters come from unplanned litters of puppies and kittens, increasing spay and neuter rates is critical to solving the problem.  Learn more at arlboston.org/spay-neuter
