Everyone in Clay County agrees that we have a problem with strays. Clay County doesn't have an animal shelter nor an animal control officer. The simple solution to the stray problem would be to have all animals altered. However, many citizens say they can't afford the costs of getting their pets fixed or the expense of getting to and from the vets office. It breaks everyones heart to see the sad, scared, hungry and homeless dogs and cats about the county, but nobody knew what to do to help. Have A Heart Inc a 501(c) (3) Non -profit, was created to provide Clay County pet owners with help for the cost of spay/neuter of dogs and cats and transportation to the vets office to have it done. We offer a guardianship program where the owner of the unplanned litter keeps the puppies or kittens until rescue can be found to accept them into their programs. While the animals are waiting for rescue, Have A Heart pays for the needed vetting for the litters. We are a 501(3)(c) organization non-profit. This means that you can claim your deductions to us on your tax forms. Have A Heart does not receive goverment funds nor any grant funding. What we need to continue to make this possible is help from each member of our community who tells us that they are heartbroken about these dogs & cats that have nowhere to go. The problem was not cause by Have A Heart, but the citizenry of this county asked Have A Heart to help. Now it's your turn to help! No donation is too small. There are over 7,000 people in Clay County and if each person gave just a little or helped out one neighbor by "fixing" a pet, in a few years there would no longer be homeless sad critters about. So let's all do our part and get it done! One person did not cause the overpopulation of stray dogs but everyone should be on board to try and fix the problem. As a famous person once said "If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem". Let us all work together to end the homeless animal population in Clay County.
