Unchain Cumberland County - The Big Fix

UCC - The Big Fix” We rescue the whole family! Mission Statement – We will stop the killing of adoptable animals at our shelter by making spay & neuter, vaccinations, and basic veterinary care affordable and available to every pet owner

“Unchain Cumberland County” was founded in 2008 with one mission: An anti-tethering ordinance for Cumberland County. On February 2, 2009, Cumberland County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to “unchain” our county. Our ordinance, which allows no tethering whatsoever, is the best in the state. UCC has built many, many fences for families with chained dogs; we have bought fencing materials for many others, and we will continue to do that, but fences are just a charitable gift from UCC, never a part of our mission. The “unchain” was always about the ordinance, not the fences. With our first mission accomplished, we moved on to “The Big Fix”, which is subsidized spay and neuter. Our mission then was to reduce the number of shelter deaths by half in the next five years by offering spay and neuter to all, regardless of ability to pay. Since December 2009, we have subsidized more than five hundred spay and neuter surgeries
