Fix the Problem aims to bring attention to the issue of pet overpopulation and the simple steps that can be taken to reduce animal suffering in our community through spaying and neutering.

Each pet owner who decides to spay or neuter their companion animal makes a conscious decision to fix the problem of pet overpopulation.  A minor procedure, most pets are in and out of the vet on the same day and experience no side effects. Animal experts agree..."in addition to reducing the pet overpopulation problem, neutering of cats and dogs has many health and behavioral benefits."
(Canadian Veterinary Medical Association, 2009)

The Bide Awhile Education Committee was established in 2009 to engage and educate the public on responsible pet ownership.
