Spay Illinois 2765 Maple Ave. Lisle, IL 60532 877-475-7729
SPAY ILLINOIS began in 2009 when the national organization, SPAY USA, asked us to create a state program in Illinois that would help bring affordable spay/neuter to all Illinois residents. We began our journey by starting low cost pet vaccine clinics that traveled around Illinois. This gave us the opportunity to talk to people about the importance of spay/neuter. We then began partnering with veterinarians, low cost spay/neuter clinics, and held transport programs to help people get their pets spayed/neutered at an affordable price. Read more and see all the wonderful programs and opps to help your pets affordably. http://www.spayillinois.org/about-us/

A Prayer for the Animals
~An Official Illinois Week for the Animals event~
We close all AW USA Weeks for the Animals with a prayer and/or moment of reflection. Join all those of us who would like to observe a moment of prayer for the precious animals. We are requesting prayers and/or meditation from 6-7 pm local time. This is a multi-faith observance.
We can offer prayers, poems and memorials to our animal or all animals wherever we are..... and also light a candle by doing so, if possible.
Wherever you are, if you can observe a moment for the animals who need us. That collective energy will surely grow and bring light to our cause to love, assist and help them from any and all suffering. For poems or additional inspiration, please visit http://www.animalworldusa.org/Inspiration.html
