Vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchips
As of mid-March, 1,000 cats and dogs will have been sterilized by international non-profit group Animal Balance and their Trans-Pecos partners, The Far West Texas Rescue Coalition.
The partnership between these organizations formed in December of 2021, when together they began holding monthly, two or three-day MASH-style spay/neuter clinics in Presidio, Marfa, Alpine, Terlingua,
Marathon, Pecos, and Fort Stockton. Together the groups are providing low-cost and free spay/neuter to help the area humanely control its cat and dog population.
