Kent Animal Shelter Urges Pit Bull Parents to Prevent Unwanted Litters
Through its “Primp Your Pit (bull)” Promotion
Free Nail Trim offered with Low Cost Spay/Neuter Surgery

[Calverton, NY] – With 8 million homeless pets entering U.S. shelters
every year, Kent Animal Shelter is helping to solve the problem with
its “Primp Your Pit (bull)” spay/neuter promotion sponsored by
PetSmart Charities®. During August 2012, Kent Animal Shelter will
spay/neuter 120 pit bulls for a special rate of $20, including a free
nail trim.

Today, 35 percent of dogs and cats in U.S. households are not spayed
or neutered yet the procedure is one of the most effective ways to
reduce the homeless pet population. Pit bulls, in particular, end up
in shelters in large numbers because of myths and negative media that
impact public perceptions associated with the breed.

“The ‘Primp Your Pit’ promotion helps you and your dog,” says Pam
Green, Executive Director of Kent Animal Shelter. “Spaying/neutering a
pet is the most effective thing a pet parent can do to prevent
unwanted litters and ensure their pet lives a long, happy life.”

The American Veterinary Medical Association endorses spaying and
neutering puppies as young as eight to 10 weeks old, and research
shows that the procedure can improve the behavior and health of the
pet, including reducing the risk of certain reproductive cancers and
infections.

In an effort to prevent unwanted litters of pit bulls, this special
rate during the “Primp Your Pit” event applies to all residents of
Long Island. Pit bull parents who wish to take advantage of this offer
must mention the “Primp Your Pit (bull)” promotion when they schedule
their appointment. The promotion is based on availability. Please
visit www.KentAnimalShelter.com or call (631) 727-7797 for more
information or to schedule an appointment.
