After serving as a captain in the United States Army Medical Department Activities (MEDDAC), Virginia dentist, Dr. Mike Sagman, operated a private practice focusing on restorative and cosmetic dentistry for nearly four decades. A passionate animal welfare advocate, Dr. Mike Sagman actively supports organizations such as the Best Friends Animal Society.
Since its founding over 30 years ago, the Best Friends Animal Society has remained the largest no-kill animal sanctuary in the United States. In order to help minimize the number of homeless animals in the country, the organization runs the Spay and Neuter Education Program.
The Best Friends Animal Society considers spaying or neutering as one of the best gifts owners can give to their pets. They also see it as a gift to the community, as the procedure helps alleviate overcrowded shelters and discourages killing.
In order to raise awareness about the procedure’s benefits, the society launched a national marketing campaign a few years ago. Called Fix at Four, the specially designed campaign encourages owners to spay or neuter their pets by the age of four months. Since gaining traction, Fix at Four now counts television stars Eric Stonestreet and Linda Hunt among its supporters.
