Our primary focus is on serving Buchanan, Dickenson, Lee, Russell, Scott, Smyth, Tazewell, Washington and Wise Counties; the Cities of Bristol and Norton in Virginia; and the Counties of Sullivan and Unicoi in Tennessee, however, animals are accepted from other counties as availability permits. TRANSPORTATION
Our transport van travels to the outer-lying communities within our region, meets with the area coordinators, loads the van with animals and transports them to our clinic for surgery. If you need transportation for you pet, please visit our website at www.bristolhumanesociety.org or phone the clinic at (276) 591 -5790 for the number of your local transportation coordinator. Why should I Spay or Neuter My Pet?
*Spaying and neutering helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives.
*Spaying and neutering can eliminate or reduce the incidence of a number of health problems that can be very difficult or expensive to treat.
*Spaying eliminates the possibility of uterine or ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the incidence of mammary (breast) cancer, particularly when your pet is spayed before her first heat cycle.
*Neutering eliminates testicular cancer and decreases the incidence of prostate disease.
*Spaying and neutering makes pets more affectionate companions.
*Neutering cats makes them less likely to spray and mark territory.
*Spaying a dog and cat eliminates her heat cycle. The heat cycle in dogs lasts about three weeks and occurs twice a year. A cat's heat cycle lasts for multiple days, two to three times a year. Females in heat can cry incessantly, show nervous behavior, and attract unwanted male animals. www.bristolhumanesociety.org
