\"\"<\/a>WEST CHESTER \u2013 The Brandywine Valley SPCA (BVSPCA) will be offering spay\/neuter surgeries to residents of Chester County, Delaware County, and New Castle County for just a $20 co-pay during the month of March.\u00a0 The \u201cLucky Charms\u201d campaign is the first of three \u201cblitz\u201d campaigns supported by a generous grant from PetSmart Charities, the leading funder of animal welfare in North America.<\/span><\/p>\n

PetSmart Charities awarded the BVSPCA a $76,000 grant to run a series of spay\/neuter blitz campaigns during 2017.\u00a0 These month-long campaigns are designed to reduce the number of homeless pets by preventing the birth of unwanted litters. The BVSPCA campaigns aim to reach at least 1400 family pets by the end of 2017.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The BVSPCA performed more than 10,000<\/span> spay\/neuter surgeries in 2016 through its Animal Health Centers in Malvern, PA, and New Castle, DE. \u201cOur Animal Health Centers specialize in high quality, low-cost surgery,\u201d said Adam Lamb, BVSPCA Chief Executive Officer. \u201cHaving the support of PetSmart Charities to offer these blitz campaigns will allow us to reach even more family pets in our community so fewer unwanted kittens and puppies end up in shelters.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Brandywine Valley SPCA had made great strides to reduce the number of unplanned litters throughout the region with their local spay and neuter campaigns,\u201d said Sima Thakkar, regional relationship manager at PetSmart Charities. \u201cThrough their continued efforts and dedication, PetSmart Charities hopes to reduce pet shelter intake and, ultimately, end pet homelessness I the community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

With the help of animal welfare partners, including the BVSPCA, PetSmart Charities has funded more than 1.4 million spay and neuter surgeries in the U.S. since 2009.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The March Lucky Charms campaign includes cats and dogs, both male and female. Clients need to schedule their appointment by March 31, 2017, by calling one of the BVSPCA Animal Health Centers:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
