Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Programs & Clinics

Help fix the problem of pet overpopulation in New York City! Have your pet spayed or neutered now!

Why Spay or Neuter?

It's good for your pet's health.

A pet who has been spayed or neutered has a decreased chance of developing certain health problems, such as cancer, later in life.

It can improve behavioral issues.

Certain kinds of aggressive behaviors can be curbed by neutering a pet.

It eliminates the chance of unwanted pregnancies.

With thousands of dogs and cats in New York City alone ending up in shelters being euthanized for lack of loving homes, spaying and neutering is the best way to ensure that your pet doesn't add to the city's pet overpopulation problem.

Too Expensive? NO!

Think it's too expensive to spay or neuter your dog or cat? Think again! A variety of low-cost spay/neuter programs and events are available in New York City:
