BEND, OR -- The Bend Spay and Neuter Project is ready to undertake a major move - just across the street. Executive Director Megan Gram tells KBND News, "We have struggled for years to keep up with the need for surgery, so we’d been booking out surgeries two or three weeks in advance. We tried to negate that in a variety of ways but it wasn’t really working. So, we ended up adding on to our medical team and just being able to do more surgeries in one day; and that’s been really successful." But, she says, that wasn't enough. "We’ve been outgrowing the space for quite some time, now. We had been working on adding members to our medical team and getting them specially trained in high-volume, high-quality spay and neuter. So, our team is ready to go and we’re able to safely and efficiently perform up to 50 surgeries per day. And, we’re realizing that, while we have the capacity, we don’t necessarily have the space to do it." Gram believes a combination of growing awareness and a growing local population is contributing to the increased demand.
