Pet Prevent a Litter (PALS) of Central Texas and PAWS Shelter & Humane Society partnered to offer a spay/neuter clinic on August 17 at the PAWS shelter in Kyle. About 35 pets of financially-strapped residents were spayed or neutered for free at the event, and also received a round of vaccinations.
The clinic was made possible in part through support from the Hays County Community Service program.
