It's important to make sure your pet is healthy by getting them spayed or neutered. So one Valley clinic is doing more to expand their services to help those pets in need.

The Shenandoah Valley Spay/Neuter Clinic is trying to end euthanasia of healthy dogs and cats by reaching out to shelters in the surrounding counties in the Valley.

Right now, the Harrisonburg clinic is currently undergoing renovations to expand their facility to meet the needs of more pets.

Along with the renovations, a transportation van that can hold up to 35 caged animals will travel all over the Shenandoah Valley within a 150 mile range to pick up pets that need fixing.

Coren Knicely says, "We're able to go up to 150 miles from the clinic. We serve Augusta County, as well as Front Royal, Winchester, parts of West Virginia we are starting. We go up to Charlestown, Louisa, Rockbridge. So we're really trying to help the community at large in the Shenandoah Valley."

She also says not many shelters are non-kill.

Knicely adds, "There are no low-cost spay-neuter clinics offered. There is a need. There is a high euthanasia rate at our neighboring shelters and again we just want to decrease those numbers and have our shelters be non-kill."

The Spay and Neuter Clinic is set to reopen September 8.
