Animals and animal welfare
issues have always been a major part of Leslie’s life. In 2003 she involved the local shelter in a
project to bring the Oregon Neutermobile to Prineville. After 3 months and 866
procedures, the need for low or no cost spay/neuter in the community had been
demonstrated. Leslie and her husband, Greg, then established a permanent
nonprofit clinic for spay/neuter and SNIP was born. The local shelter, the Humane Society of the
Ochocos (HSO), became “No-Kill” in Jan. 2006 thus achieving the first, major
goal for SNIP. HSO remains the only
community-wide “No-Kill” shelter east of the Cascade Mountains.
