Find Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Programs Near You
Pets that are spayed or neutered are happier and healthier. Plus it prevents pets from coming into the world without a home to go to. With more than 171 million pets in US households, about 60 million dogs and cats continue to breed and produce millions more puppies and kittens without a place to call home.
You can help reduce the overpopulation of homeless pets by proactively spaying/neutering your pets - and encouraging your friends to do the same.
PetSmart Charities, the ASPCA, and the HSUS have collaborated on a new on-line, searchable database comprised of low-cost, spay/neuter providers (including both clinics and referral agencies). Individuals looking for affordable and close by spay/neuter options can search by city, state, or zip and search in a 50 mile radius. The database is updated regularly.

sequential plate of $98 for a personalized plate.

private shelters are included, it is estimated that one
