***Good results from Spay Day USA 2006!!  We did a total of 60 animals;  including  9 cats, 45 dogs and 6 rabbits for a total of $4821.75.  Also, thanks to the generosity of Howard & Terry of Servant Air, we were able to fly in 18 dogs and 2 cats from various villages around Kodiak at no charge for spaying & neutering. Today, Servant Air still donates free airfreight space to continue to fly in animals from the villages to continue with our spay & neuter program.  We could not do it without them.
