Spay Day USA!

What is Spay Day USA?

Spay Day USA is the Doris Day Animal Foundation's national campaign to save the lives of homeless animals through the spay or neuter of our pets and feral cats. Since Spay Day USA's inception in 1995, event participants - like PAWS Chicago - have spayed or neutered over 1,225,000 cats, dogs and other animals, saving millions of animal lives and taxpayer dollars!

PAWS Chicago celebrated SPAY DAY USA! by providing our customers with a free voucher that they can give to a friend or use for another pet to promote spay and neuter. In addition a drawing was held for free vaccinations and gift baskets.

Winners included: Michelle Chapman, Lisa Wallenstein and Darlene Fleming.

Students at Claremont Math and Science Academy (Head Start and First Grade) and Mark Twain Elementary School (6th Grade) participated in a poster and essay contest (Click here to view the rules of the contest). Entries were displayed in the Lurie Family Spay Neuter Clinic lobby for two weeks. Participants were awarded a PAWS Chicago T-shirt and the winners have been invited to tour the Lurie Family Spay Neuter Clinic.
