Each year, over 2 million animals are euthanized in shelters. To combat this issue, spaying and neutering are crucial. These affordable procedures prevent countless animals from being born into a life of suffering and potential euthanasia.

​

Consider the impact: one unaltered female dog and her descendants can produce up to 67,000 puppies in just six years. Similarly, a single female cat and her offspring can result in about 370,000 kittens in seven years!

​

Beyond preventing overpopulation, spaying and neutering improve pets' quality of life. Spaying eliminates the discomfort and health risks associated with heat cycles and uterine cancer. Neutering reduces male behaviors like roaming and fighting, and lowers the risk of testicular and prostate cancers.

​

The cost of spaying or neutering is minimal compared to the expenses of rescuing, feeding, and rehoming animals. It is also a more humane and cost-effective alternative to shelter euthanasia due to overpopulation.

​

Our Community Spay/Neuter Assistance Program covers the cost of spaying or neutering for eligible residents of Fayette County, TN. Partnering with local veterinarians and supported by donations, our mission is to decrease euthanasia rates and manage the stray and unwanted animal population.
