SNYP, Friends of the Animal Shelter (FOTAS), and Jackson County Animal Care and Control (JCACC) have joined forces to participate in the national Spay Day USA program by offering special discount spay/neuter certificates during their February Prevent A Litter month long campaign.
The special spay/neuter certificates will be available to the public during the month of February for:
- Cat Spay and neuters: $25
- Dog Spay and neuters:
$65 up to 60 lbs.
($10 additional at time of surgery for dogs over 60 lbs.)

The special discount spay/neuter certificates are redeemable at any of the many participating veterinary offices listed on the back of each certificate.
SNYP schedules their campaigns to coincide with the heavy breeding seasons and with national campaigns such as the Spay Day USA program. "Animal welfare organizations across the country are gearing up to help reduce the damage done during the massive spring breeding season," states Sally Mackler, SNYP's Board President.
Nationwide shelter workers are forced to kill a homeless animal every 7 seconds. Five million companion animals are euthanized yearly simply because they are born unwanted. Millions more are abandoned to fend for themselves. Taxpayers carry the cost of picking up, housing and eventually killing shelter animals for as much as $176 per animal in some areas. That's why animal welfare groups across the nation join together to provide spring spay/neuter programs throughout the U.S.
By spaying or neutering companion animals we can end these unwanted births, reduce the needless suffering that homeless animals endure, and save taxpayers money at the same time.
Last year, more than 2000 animals were altered in Jackson County through SNYP's special campaigns and assistance programs. In addition, thousands more pet owners were referred to existing veterinary spay/neuter services through SNYP's referral service. These surgeries prevented many thousands of animals from burdening our shelter system, or suffering abandonment and death.
Help spread the word...help motivate your friends, co-workers, neighbors to get their pet fixed during this wonderful time-limited offer!
