Tucson Nonprofit Tackles Pet Overpopulation

Tucson’s nonprofit Tucson Action Team is racing against time to combat pet overpopulation with a free and low-cost spay/neuter clinic, performing over 100 surgeries this week alone—part of their ambitious goal to reach 1,000 by summer’s end. With Pima Animal Care Center shut down due to a deadly canine distemper outbreak, this initiative is more vital than ever, helping prevent future shelter crises and saving lives. Founder Lara Iacobucci Paris emphasizes how unplanned litters fuel disease and neglect, and the team is reaching out to every corner of the community—including those experiencing homelessness—to ensure no pet owner is left behind. All services are funded by donations, turning compassion into action for a healthier, happier community. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
