This is shaping up to be another very busy week at Have a Heart Pet Shelter in Yellville. The Spay and Neuter Clinic runs from April 5-7 and has been fully booked for a long time. Each time we announce having clinic registration, interested parties need to call that day. Across three days we will spay/ neuter approximately 120 animals. This is one of many services Have-A- Heart, HAH, provides to our community, making it affordable for everyone to do the responsible thing to help prevent countless puppies and kittens that would often end up being abandoned. Also, this week, on Wednesday, ten puppies will be leaving on a puppy transport to Northern Illinois, where they will be helped to find their forever homes. Plus, we are getting six adult dogs ready to go to the East Coast to meet their new families on April 12.
