Roz Manwaring attends Fix-it-Forum in Chicago, October 25-28, 2007
Four to six million healthy cats and dogs are killed annually at shelters across America. This year, a ground breaking event called the Fix- it- Forum was held Oct. 25-28 in Chicago to address the issue of pet overpopulation. Sponsored by Petsmart Charities, the program brought together five hundred and forty five people from forty five states, Washington D.C,. and OntarioRoz Manwaring of the Rozzie May Animal Alliance in Tamworth, was able to attend, thanks to a full scholarship from the Bosack & Kruger Foundation. The networking and training conference focused on reducing the number of animals entering shelters by accessible sterilization surgery
Roz was greatly impressed with the presentations by the leaders in low-cost, high volume, high quality spay/neuter clinics, such as the Humane Alliance of North Carolina, the many new organizations devoted to ending the killing of homeless pets, and the veterinarians who believe in spay/neuter as the solution. One hundred veterinarians from around the country participated in the two days of workshops.
The highly concentrated conference focused on just this one topic for two intense days. A variety of models were presented to fit the diversity of the country's population and geography. The seminars included stationary clinics, mobile units (Spaymobile) and MASH units like that of Dr. Sara White who offered her services for the Rozzie May Animal Alliance's first clinic.
The Rozzie May Animal Alliance is working to develop a low cost spay neuter facility to lower the number of homeless animals entering shelters in New Hampshire. The first clinic, held Sept. 10th and 11th in Tamworth altered sixty two animals. In order to reach the most people and animals in need, the RMAA may use a combination of clinic models as the program develops
