Allen ? The Texas Coalition for Animal Protection (TCAP) Allen location is relocating on April 6, and will have the capacity to service 10% more animals per year through a new, larger and more convenient location. ?We?re excited about our new, updated Allen location,? said Stacey Schumacher, TCAP Executive Director. ?Not only will we be able to service more pets, resulting in fewer pets being euthanized in North Texas shelters, but our clients will now be able to wait in line inside a safe, climate controlled location and shielded from harsh Texas weather. This move will result in happier people and healthier pets.? TCAP?s new clinic is located at 111 N. Greenville Ave, Suite A. This location is just down the road from TCAP?s previous Allen clinic, but make a huge difference in how many pets the organization can comfortably service. On surgery days, TCAP?s Allen location sterilizes around 30- 40 pets each day. The new Allen location will have the ability to service up to 50 pets per day more comfortably than ever before. ?Our mission is to end animal overpopulation in North Texas animal shelters,? Schumacher said. ?We can?t accomplish that goal by promoting adoption alone. We must spay and neuter pets, and with the cost of living increasing, these routine surgeries can be out of reach for some pet owners. Our new clinic will allow us the opportunity to serve more pets, and provide more opportunities for pet owners to use our low-cost services.? ?
