For every ticket purchased to play Heads or Tails, one kitten or puppy will receive vital spay or neuter surgery to start them on their journey to finding a new home in Boulder Valley.

When you play Heads or Tails, you are providing resources to ensure a pet in need receives critical spay or neuter surgery while ensuring other animals in need have access to HSBV's lifesaving resources in the future. Each player makes a life-changing gift with their entry – ensuring those who come to HSBV today, receive love, care, and support, and gives the animals who will arrive tomorrow the happy and healthy start in life they need, and so deserve.
