New Leash on Life celebrates 40,000 surgeries and a new Spay Station with Wilson County Hyundai and the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee
LEBANON, TN – February 23, 2010 – On Saturday February 27th Wilson County Hyundai, at 1506 West Main Street in Lebanon, will host a special event to unveil New Leash on Life’s brand new mobile veterinary clinic, The Spay Station, and also celebrate the 40,000th surgery performed through that program. The Spay Station, a program of New Leash on Life, is Tennessee’s first mobile spay/neuter clinic and began operations in 2000. The original clinic is being retired and thanks to a generous grant from the Patricia and Edward J. McGavock Humane Treatment of Animals Fund of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, a new vehicle will be hitting the road in March 2010.
The celebration will be held on Saturday February 27th from 11 AM to 3 PM at Wilson County Hyundai located at 1506 West Main Street in Lebanon. The event will include free food, prizes, activities for kids, pet demonstrations, pet tag engraving, and more! The unveiling will take place at 2:30 PM. Wilson County Hyundai will also make a donation to New Leash on Life for each car sold in the month of February.
The Spay Station provides free spay/neuter surgeries for low income pet caretakers in order to curb pet overpopulation. In honor of the 40,000th surgery, New Leash on Life is challenging the community to help raise $40,000 to support this wonderful community service. Throughout the month of February, donors can visit www.newleashonline.org and click the donate button to make a contribution and be automatically entered to win prizes that will be given away during the event. Contributions can also be made in person at the event.
