During Spay and Neuter Awareness Month in February, Gulf Coast Community Foundation (GCCF) will launch FIXED For Life, a program to help residents in George, Hancock, Harrison, Jackson, Pearl River, and Stone counties spay and neuter their pets at no cost. Residents in these counties can apply online for FIXED for Life vouchers beginning February 1. The deadline to apply will be February 29.
GCCF is partnering with the following animal welfare agencies for FIXED for Life: Dixie Adoptables in George County, Friends of the Animal Shelter in Hancock County, Humane Society of South Mississippi in Harrison County, Friends of Jackson County Animal Shelter, Pearl River County SPCA and Stone County SPCA.
FIXED for Life is made possible by the Jack A. and Gertrude W. Wilson Animal Welfare Fund, which is administered by GCCF. Since 2001, this fund has provided grants to help save countless animals' lives, both domestic and wild, and to help control the population of cats and dogs in South Mississippi through spay-and-neuter vouchers. More than $1 million in grants has been awarded from the fund since its establishment.
“The Gulf Coast Community Foundation is proud to carry on the legacy of the Wilsons,” said Christen H. Duhé, president and executive director of GCCF. “We hope this program is beneficial to families and their furry family members and helps us foster a more responsible and caring community.”
