Spaying and neutering is a crucial step in reducing euthanasia rates and preventing the spread of preventable diseases. It also helps improve the overall health and quality of life for animals in our community. By having your pet spayed or neutered, you’re making a positive impact and promoting responsible pet ownership. We encourage you to spread the word and share these resources with family, friends, and neighbors to help raise awareness.

Throughout the year, the Tri-State area offers low-cost spay and neuter specials, making it easier to be part of the solution. The fee is $32 per pet during these events. These specials are often limited in availability, so be sure to act fast! Check with the Animal Shelter or your local veterinarian for details on upcoming promotions.
