It's Crunch Time!!

You haven’t heard from us at Planned PEThood for a few weeks. We’ve been remiss in keeping up with our blog and progress reports. But we haven’t gone away, just hunkered down – and now we’re in the final run-up to opening Atlanta’s newest spay/neuter clinic!

We’re currently negotiating a lease, and hope to have it signed by early May so we can begin buildout for a grand opening this summer. We’ve decided to remain in the area we know best, which is Duluth.

Now we need your help more than ever!

If 20 people will donate $1,000 each, we can open the doors knowing that our operating expenses will be covered for the 1st three months while we ramp up our average daily surgeries. Donors at this level will be recognized with special signage in our new lobby! Of course, we understand that not everyone has that amount available, and we’re grateful for every contribution.

Here’s how your donation can help:
 $100 Two boxes of suture
 $250 One “spay pack” of surgical instruments
 $500 One month’s supply of rabies vaccines
 $1000 One month’s rent
 $2000 Pay for our building's signage

Together, we can significantly decrease the number of unwanted animals born each year in Georgia, and reduce the suffering and euthanasia of healthy, adoptable dogs and cats at our local shelters.
It’s easy to donate – you can use Paypal, or mail a check – just contact us for a mailing address.

I hope you’re as excited as we are to be this close to providing a real solution to pet overpopulation in our area!

p.s. We have received IRS approval of our 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Your donation is tax-deductible!
