Conditions like pyometra, a life\-threatening uterine infection, and mammary cancer occur far more frequently in unaltered animals\. These diagnoses can be overwhelming for families and often require emergency or specialty care\. For those of us in the shelter and rescue field, this isn’t just a seasonal reminder, though we appreciate that February gives us an opportunity to amplify the message\. It’s about long\-term health\. It’s about prevention\. And it’s about protecting the animals who depend on us every single day\. At Pets In Need, we see every day how early decisions shape an animal’s future\. Every tail truly tells a story, and preventive care is often one of the first chapters\. For Dr\. Emily Scott, that belief is not just professional\. It is personal\. ## Events - [Nature's Encore](https://petsinneed.org/event/4838-2/) - [](https://petsinneed.org/event/4830-2/) - [Mobile Vaccine Clinic](https://petsinneed.org/event/mobile-vaccine-clinic/) - [Barracuda Sushi](https://petsinneed.org/event/barracuda-sushi/) - [Pet Care Assistance Day](https://petsinneed.org/event/pet-care-assistance-day/): Pets In Need is proud to host our annual Pet Care Assistance Day, a community\-focused event offering low\-cost vaccines, microchips, flea prevention, dewormers, and pet supplies to local families in need on Saturday, June 13, 2026\.
