Operation Spay Neuter partners with
local veterinarians to subsidize the spaying and
neutering of pets for individuals who have a financial
need and those who care for homeless companion animals
and strays/ferals.
Overpopulation is the #1 problem
for pets in America. There are more dogs and cats than
there are loving homes to care for them. Our goal is to
have no more unwanted or homeless litters being born to
dogs and cats in our community.
About 5 million ‘excess’ dogs and
cats will be killed in US shelters this year and
millions more are homeless. Please do not contribute to
this problem. Be responsible and spay/neuter your dogs
and cats.
