TNR Program

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the most humane and effective method for controlling pet population

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)

Through TNR programs, stray animals are humanely trapped, spayed/neutered and whenever possible returned to their original owners or released. Responsible pets owners should do your part to spay or neuter your pet, or the strays in your area to prevent unwanted litters of puppies and kittens. This will reduce the number of animals being abandoned or killed.

 

Spaying and Neutering of pets is the best way to control over-population and associated problems.
