GASTON COUNTY, N.C. — The Gaston Low-Cost Spay/ Neuter Clinic hit a milestone on Thursday with 100,000 procedures.
The clinic started work in 2009 in an old pizza shop.
They euthanized about 60% of the animals when the county shelter opened, operators said. That is now down 10%.
The county manager’s office said the clinic has saved the lives of animals and saved the county over $34 million.
“The clinic has recently added an animal hospital to their clinic,” said executive director Terry Kenny.
