Halloween can be a frightening time for animals.
Many people love the fun of Halloween and want to include their pets, but it
can be a frightening, stressful holiday for animals.
Isolated and random events that may cast a lasting spell on dogs and cats
tend to converge on Halloween. Ringing doorbells, lots of candy,
high-pitched yelling or screaming, and clothing that covers a stranger’s
eyes or head can all be disconcerting to pet – especially when they’re
experienced together on the same night.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have something less to worry about?
This Halloween, give your pet a ‘treat’ with spay/neuter. Not only will
this help them lead happier, healthier lives by avoiding illnesses such
as cancer, but it will also help our community.
Last year, nearly 30,000 pets were euthanized in Hillsborough County alone.
This figure provided by the Hillsborough County government statistics can be
a ’scary’ thing to think about around Halloween. Shelters just don’t have
enough homes for our pet overpopulation crises.
We want to hear about your experience with spay/neuter…do you think it is
important? Have you had your pet spayed/neutered? How do you feel about
it?
Thank you and have a safe Halloween!

The changing of the seasons means changes for our pets too. During the fall
season, stray pets in particular face cooler temperatures, hunger due to the
people who normally feed them going on vacation (i.e. Thanksgiving etc.),
and much more.
Nearly 30,000 pets were euthanized in Hillsborough county alone, last year
because of a pet overpopulation crisis. Having your pet or stray pets
spayed/neutered will prevent unplanned births, and more pets entering
shelters, therefore preventing euthanasia.
Do you see stray cats or dogs around your neighborhood? What would motivate
you to bring
them to a clinic for spaying/neutering? Why would or wouldn’t you have your
pet spayed/neutered?
We’re a non-profit group trying to prevent euthanasia for pets. We
appreciate your time in responding.
Thanks so much!

3. Give each walker a little information on the event and ACT,its history and current projects.
4. Give each walker a brochure (in print) and flyer. Printed materials may be picked up at the ACT Spay/Neuter clinic. Call (813) 250-3900.
5 . Give each walker a Donation Collection Form so they can start asking for support for their involvement.
6. Post a team flier at your company.
7. Send e-mails to people you know requesting their support. If you have rescued an animal, it’s very effective for your pet to write the request and tell his story about how a similar group saved his life. Don’t forget to attach his picture!
8. Hold a bake sale, potluck, garage sale or other small fundraiser to raise some of the donation monies. Its always easier to raise money if you have something to offer!Stride for Strays
