Noah’s Ark Keeps Hope Afloat for Keokuk Canine Flooding Victims CCSNAP Provides Surgeries for 13 Dogs  When the Noah’s
Ark Animal Foundation Caring Community Spay Neuter Assistance Program (CCSNAP)
received a call to help 13 dogs surrendered at a disaster relief facility
in neighboring Keokuk, they knew they had an opportunity to make a difference
in the aftermath of the floods. These dogs were signed over to the disaster
response organization, Noah’s Wish, after their home was flooded.In its day-to-day operations, CCSNAP assists residents of Fairfield and Jefferson County with the cost of spaying and neutering their pets based on each household’s financial situation. This program helps to further the Noah’s Ark Animal Foundation’s goal of ending pet overpopulation and preventing animal suffering through adoption, spay/neuter programs, and education. Dr. Bill Pollak will perform the sterilizations at the Fairfield Animal Hospital on Madison Ave. at a generously discounted rate. After these dogs are sterilized, they will be placed into foster homes for continued medical care. After various treatments are complete, including heartworm treatment for many of them, they will be available for adoption through Southeastern Iowa’s Animal Protection League. 
Noah’s Ark Animal Foundation is seeking donations to help offset the
cost of these surgeries. Donations can be mailed to: P.O. Box 2005, Fairfield,
IA 52556 or dropped off at the shelter, located
at 1986 Gear Avenue during open hours, Tuesday through Saturday, 1:00
p.m. to 4:00 p.m.If you live in the city of Fairfield, or Jefferson County, and need assistance spaying or neutering your pet, please call 641-469-2015 for more information.
