Seven vet, project and shire volunteers delivered $75,000 worth of services from 10am-2pm, with the WA **** Project’s Spay it Forward project made possible by a $10,000 Bendigo Community Bank Pingelly and Brookton grant.

A roaming door-knocking team visited households to treat dogs who could not make the journey to the hall.

Collaborators Heartlands Veterinary Hospital put forward volunteers, and NexGard Spectra provided flea and worming treatments and **** goodies including leads and treats, while the Shire of Brookton offered in-kind registration for concession cardholders.

WA **** Project booked tens of desexing surgeries at a tenth of the usual surgery price, paid for by ****-owner contributions to the not-for-profit organisation.

Spay it Forward program co-ordinator Jennifer Sutey said desexing improved **** health and longevity, as well as the health of the community.

Ms Sutey said the program worked with more than 30 vets throughout the State, including in Narrogin and Collie, to help concession cardholders experiencing financial hardship receive **** care for dogs and cats.

She thanked the collaborators and countless volunteers behind the scenes who brought the project to life.
