The Gainesville Sun reports the story -- The Levy County Humane
Society has begun using money from a specialty license tag to help
low income families spay and neuter their pets.
Society president Mike Schenk said
the organization received a $20,000 grant from sales of Animal
Friend license plates to establish the program. The society will
spent $5,000 to have feral cats sterilized and the remaining
$15,000 to subsidize spay and neuter services for cats and
dogs.
"Under this program, Levy
County pet owners that qualify will only have to pay $5 to have
their cat or dog spayed or neutered," Schenk said. "The
grant pays for the rest."

The new eco-friendly Bella Bed™ and Bella Binky™ are
made from recycled cotton fiber. The fiber is recovered as
pre-consumer apparel scrap from cutting rooms, so new plants need
not be grown, harvested, processed and dyed. Using clean recycled
cotton saves, energy, water, and decreases the amount of consumer
waste slated for a landfill. The Bella Beds™ are also filled
with recycled material made from PET -- polyethylene terephthalate
- an oil-based product that is highly recyclable and can be
transformed again and again for many different uses. The bottom
line is that the products are now totally eco-friendly as a nod to
making our pups green and keeping them healthy,...
