The Animal Care Center at Johnson College is currently accepting applications for its Annual Spay Day, which will take place on Wednesday, February 23, 2011.
This one-day only clinic offers discounted spaying and neutering services for dogs and cats. Residents of Lackawanna County with an income of less than $25,000 annually are invited to apply.
The deadline for filing applications is February 4, 2011 and will be strictly adhered to. Applications can be obtained at www.johnson.edu, by calling 570-702-8961, or by stopping by the Animal Care Center on Johnson College’s campus at 3427 North Main Avenue, Scranton. Incomplete applications or those submitted without verification of income will not be considered. Submitting an application does not guarantee that your animals will be accepted. Please no phone calls to check on the status of applications; Animal Care Center personnel will call eligible applicants to set up an appointment time.
This will be the seventh year that Johnson College has celebrated Spay Day in conjunction with the Doris Day Foundation’s Spay Day USA, which seeks to help control pet overpopulation by providing affordable spaying/neutering services. On the day of the event, the College’s senior Veterinary Technology Program students assist in surgical prep, surgery, and post-surgical care. Other volunteers include local Veterinarians and Veterinary Technicians who pitch in to make the day a success.
For more information on Spay Day 2011, please contact the Animal Care Center at Johnson College by calling 570-702-8961.

Hello, hopefully The Animal Care Center at Johnson College program can help people in need of services will help pets
Ahh, the ‘man best friend’ or should I say it, the ‘women best companion’… Dog called Amico looks very muscular. Nice work Stephanie, need more gals on this one…
I have dog like Amico. She is a German Wolf. She is so sweat.
I like dogs like Amico. I like esspecially teriers.
This is good, the more spaying is done, the less unwanted pups and therefore demand for places like puppy mills to survive. People should have to spay. Thanks for sharing. Great pic.
This is a great idea!
That is a beautiful beast. (Amico)
I had my dog neutered and I know it’s for the better but it still made me cry.
It is a good news that the deadline for filing applications is February 4, 2011 and will be strictly adhered to.
Collor of the dog is so sweet in the photo. I plan to have golden retriver on next month.
This is a great idea. I love dogs about everything. The Amico on the photo is a nice dog. I would like so one.
