Why Spay and Neuter?

Reduce the pet population

Each year, 2.7 million pets are euthanized in the United States. Pets do not need our help to expand their numbers, they need our help to reduce their numbers because there are not enough homes for them all.

Improve your pet's life

Benefits of Spaying (females):
  • No heat cycles, therefore males will not be attracted
  • Less desire to roam
  • Risk of mammary gland tumors, ovarian and/or uterine cancer is reduced or eliminated, especially if done before the first heat cycle
  • Helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives
  • The cost of spaying or neutering a pet is less than the cost of raising puppies or kittens for a year.
  • Increases chances of a longer and healthier life.
Benefits of Neutering (males):
  • Reduces or eliminates risk of spraying and marking
  • Less desire to roam, therefore less likely to be injured in fights or auto accidents
  • Risk of testicular cancer is eliminated, and decreases incidence of prostate disease
  • Decreases aggressive behavior, including dog bites
  • Increases chances of a longer and healthier life.

Make the community a better place

The capture, impoundment and eventual destruction of unwanted animals costs taxpayers and private humanitarian agencies over a billion dollars each year. As a potential source of rabies and other less serious diseases, they can be a public health hazard.

Stray animals can easily become a public nuisance, soiling parks and streets, ruining shrubbery, frightening children and elderly people, creating noise and other disturbances, causing automobile accidents, and sometimes even killing livestock or other pets.
