Spay / Neuter Assistance Program

Spay or neuter your pets now! Make a Spay / Neuter Clinic Donation

You can save millions of innocent lives by preventing your pets from breeding. Many animals die simply because too many are born. Help prevent the overpopulation of domestic animals by having your pet spayed or neutered.

HSCI offers $25.00 Spay Days for cats thanks to the generosity of Humane Society donors. Please call the office for information on how to qualify and upcoming dates. For low-cost spaying/neutering of dogs, contact the office staff for a referral.

Based on recent statistics reported by animal shelters and humane agencies across the country, there are approximately 18.4 million abandoned pets in the United States.

Spay and neuter enforcement is at the center of solving the pet overpopulation crisis, and is an issue on which the HSCI takes an emphatic stand. All animals are sterilized prior to adoption.

Through its Spay / Neuter Assistance Program, the HSCI performs over 1,000 spay / neuter surgeries each year.
