No More Homeless Pets has accepted an invitation from the
Alachua County Humane Society to develop its spay/neuter clinic in conjunction with plans to relocate their operation to a large site on NW 6th street just north of 39th Avenue.  As these plans will be months in the making, NMHP is excited to announce that a specially equipped spay/neuter mobile unit will be coming to town shortly.  The clinic will operate out of this "Big Fix Rig" until the permanent facility is operational.  A location will be announced soon. 

For more information on this special vehicle, visit www.nmhp.net.
