LOW-COST SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC
We’re a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing high-quality, low-cost spay/neuter services for dogs and cats. With nearly 23,000 surgeries performed, our experienced team ensures your pet is in good hands while also helping to curb pet overpopulation and reduce euthanasia rates in shelters.
​
By choosing our clinic, you’re not only helping your pet but also supporting rescue efforts for homeless animals and creating a healthier community.
​
Spay/neuter is a routine procedure, but pre- and post-surgery care is important—please review our guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery for your pet.
​
We look forward to helping you—schedule an appointment today!
