Well, 2002 will go down as the most successful year so far in Sacramento Spay Day history (so far). One hundred and thirty-three (133!) animals were spayed or neutered at the SSPCA and All About Pets clinics on Sunday, February 24, 2002.

A team of over 40 people assisted in making these surgeries a reality.

We got television coverage on Channels 3 and 13 along with a radio interview on KFBK. Dr. Angelo Stanton and Dr. Erin Felton were interviewed on television and gave great reasons for people to get their pets spayed or neutered. The UCD vet med students got a great experience once again and the volunteers worked tirelessly. The SSPCA event did not finish up until after 8 pm, after opening at 7 am!!

We couldn't do it without our fearless leader, Margaret Warhuus! She worked since last Spay Day to produce another successful event. Many may thanks also to Dr. Lynda Zucca and her staff at All About Pets, the Sacramento SPCA, United Animal Nations, Common Sense Dog Training, Dr. Jill Roberts-Wilson, Jason Schaefer and to all the volunteers, especially those that worked all day long (like Pam Runquist and Lisa DeCarlo). Though a lot of work, Spay Day continues to provide a real need in the community through the surgeries and the message we get across. THANK YOU!
