Late Pleistocene canines that fall morphologically somewhere between this wolf and the modern dog have been directly associated with early European human settlements as long ago as 40,000 BP (Germonpré et al. 2009).

Houston has arranged with SNAP, a mobile clinic that does offer spay/neutering services for free, but there’s a big limit on it. SNAP only offers free services “to clients who can show proof of participation in a public assistance program and only accepts a maximum of 24 cats and dogs at a time.
