Spay/Neuter

Every day, 70,000 puppies and kittens are born in the United States. More than 60 percent of them are unwanted and will be abandoned, often brought to a shelter or rescue organization.

Spaying or neutering your cat or dog is a responsible and beneficial decision for both you and your pet. Spaying or neutering can prevent unwanted pregnancies, reduce the risk of certain diseases and cancers, and help control the population of stray animals. Spaying or neutering can also improve your pet's behavior, such as reducing aggression, marking, and roaming. Additionally, spaying or neutering can save you money on veterinary bills, reduce the environmental impact of pet waste, and support the efforts of animal shelters and rescue groups. Most importantly, spaying or neutering can save lives by preventing euthanasia of unwanted animals and reducing animal suffering. Millions of healthy, adoptable cats and dogs are euthanized each year in the U.S. because there simply are not enough homes for them all.

By spaying or neutering your cat or dog, you are ensuring their health and happiness, as well as contributing to the welfare of other animals in your community.
