Event Dates: Through - Mon 10/13

A Cumming veterinarian and an Athens cat rescuer are in the running to be Animal Planet Heroes.

Tracy Land, a Cumming veterinarian who runs a low-cost spay/neuter clinic, is one of 10 finalists to be Animal Planet's 2008 Hero of the Year. Land opened her Pet Vet clinic in 1987, but was frustrated by the high numbers of unwanted animals. In 1996 she started Project Spay/Neuter. Since then, she and her staff have spayed or neutered more than 55,000 dogs and cats, including many for low-income families at a subsidized cost of $15. Land also does discounted work for local rescue groups and teaches other vets her pediatric spay/neuter techniques. If she wins the voting on the pet channel's Web site, she'll receive a $10,000 donation to her charity and a trip.

The Athens woman, Kelly Bettinger, is in the running for Cat Hero of the Year from the channel, with a $5,000 prize. Bettinger started Campus Cats, a program to spay or neuter and care for the cats that live on the University of Georgia campus.
