PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – An animal rescue in South Florida is addressing the region’s growing overpopulation of stray puppies by offering low-cost spaying and neutering services while working tirelessly to find homes for adoptable pets.
Animal Aid, a local rescue, has seen an influx of animals, including puppies like Thor and Chi Chi, two adorable Chihuahuas showcased by Local 10′s animal advocate, Jacey Birch.
“We have to stop the overpopulation of pets here in South Florida,” said Tamara, a representative of Animal Aid, emphasizing the importance of spaying and neutering to control the number of unwanted animals.
The rescue currently houses more than 30 dogs and 150 cats, all in need of loving homes.
“We offer low-cost spay and neuter services, and we made sure the parents of these puppies were sterilized,” Tamara added.
