Spay/Neuter Information
Resources about Spay/Neuter for Pet Owners
Spaying and Neutering your animal is the only way to help control the pet homelessness crisis, which results in millions of healthy dogs and
cats being euthanized in the U.S. each year simply because they don't have a home.
There are also medical and behavioral benefits to spaying (female pets) and neutering (male pets) your animals:
Reduce spraying & marking
Reduce roaming
Reduce aggression
Lower risk of cancers
Decrease overpopulation
Increase life span up to 3-5 years
