Benefits of Spaying and Neutering
  • Over 12 million dogs and cats are killed in shelters across the United States every year. When you have your pet spayed or neutered you will be helping to reduce the number of unwanted animals.

  • Dogs and cats live longer because a number of health problems are reduced or eliminated. The possibility of testicular and ovarian or uterine cancers is eliminated. If your female pet is spayed before her first estrous cycle, the possibility of mammary cancer is greatly reduced.
  • Pets behave better and are more affectionate with people and other animals.
  • Spaying and neutering helps to eliminate unwanted behaviors such as the urge to roam, fight, bark, and howl.
  • Neutered cats are less likely to spray or mark their territory.
  • Licensing fees in some areas are cut by half or more.

Spaying and Neutering won't:
  • Endanger the well-being of your companion animal.

  • Change your pet's personality.
  • Make your pet overweight or lazy.

Everyday thousands of adoptable dogs and cats are killed because forever homes cannot be found for them. Don't contribute to this tragic loss of life.
