LAFOLLETTE, TN (SPECIAL TO WLAF) – Spay Campbell County Tennessee Pets (SpayCC) has been awarded a $4,600
grant from BISSELL Pet Foundation for spay and neuter procedures through SpayCC Happy Pets Low Cost
Spay/Neuter Aid Program. This dedicated grant will help reduce the homeless pet population by
preventing unwanted litters of stray cats and dogs in the community.

With thousands of pets abandoned each year, proactive spay and neuter procedures address the root
cause of animal overpopulation by preventing unwanted births, freeing up shelter space for pets in
need, and saving pets from potential abandonment or euthanasia. BISSELL Pet Foundation
awards numerous grants every year to shelters across the country, including Spay Campbell County
Tennessee Pets (SpayCC) to help protect and save animal lives. In 2021, more than $1.3 million was
provided through grants to shelters for spay/neuter procedures.

“With the recent overcrowding crisis shelters are facing throughout the country, supporting our
partner’s preventative spay and neuter efforts has become even more critical to impacting the lives of
both homeless and owned pets,” said Cathy Bissell, founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation. “We also
strongly encourage all pet owners to be responsible and have their pets sterilized to do their part to end
pet homelessness.”  

These funds will be used for the SpayCC Happy Pets Low Cost Spay/Neuter Aid program. to apply for
