Animal Shelter Offers Spay/Neuter Certificates

The Spokane County Animal Shelter will offer discount spay and neuter certificates Tuesday in celebration of Spay Day USA.

The certificates are $10 each and are good for the cost of the sterilization procedure at any of the shelter’s participating veterinarians. The shelter will offer 75 certificates on a first-come, first-served basis, starting at 10 a.m. Tuesday.

The address is 2521 N. Flora Road.

The certificates must be purchased in person, with cash or a check. Limit one per family.

To be eligible, pets must have a current pet license. Their owners must reside in the unincorporated areas of Spokane County, the city of Millwood, the city of Cheney or on Fairchild Air Force Base. Pet owners living within the city limits of Spokane or other incorporated townships are not eligible.

Pet microchip clinic today

Spokane County Animal Control and Pet Rescue will hold a pet microchip and licensing clinic today at the county animal shelter, 2521 N. Flora Road.

The clinic will run from 1 to 4 p.m.

Microchips, which identify lost pets, cost $15. To get one, pet owners must bring proof that their animal has a current pet license.

Dr. John Freeman from Millwood Animal Clinic will volunteer his time to administer the chips.

It’s pothole potline season

Spokane County has set up a Pothole Hotline so residents can report pavement problems.

Residents can report the location of a pothole by calling 458-2547 and leaving a message.

The hotline will open Wednesday. The county asks that callers also leave their name and phone number in case crews can’t find the pothole they are reporting.

Crews begin cleaning I-90

Construction crews will be sweeping up debris and sand along Interstate 90 from Monday to Wednesday.

Crews will be sweeping from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. from west Spokane at the top of Sunset Hill to the Sullivan Road interchange.

Both eastbound and westbound lanes will swept so Spokane does not violate air quality regulations.
