We are so excited to be a part of Copper Shores Giving Tuesday again this year! CCHS is seeking donations in order to help the community with our low cost spay and neuter program as well as our food pantry. Pets are an important part of many people’s lives. They can help with both physical and mental health. Dogs especially can encourage their owners to be more active, going for walks or spending time playing with their dog. Some cats also enjoy walks and some serious playtime. There have also been some studies that suggest having a pet can decrease cardiovascular disease risk. Pets can also be great for mental health, decreasing anxiety, and providing companionship, and much more.

Our spay/neuter program helps keep pets in homes without the risk of unwanted litters and some health issues for pets. Many landlords and other housing require pets to be spayed/neutered in order to remain in the residence. Our pet food pantry helps those going through financial difficulty to still be able to care for their pet and not have to give them up by providing temporary assistance.
