C-Snip

C-SNIP is a non-profit, charitable organization, providing high quality, high volume, reduced cost spay/neuter surgery for dogs and cats whose caretakers cannot pay the fee at a full service veterinary clinic. It's a sad fact that there are more dogs and cats born every day than there are homes to accept them. Pet sterilization is THE solution to a... problem that drains communities both emotionally and financially. Until every dog and cat born is assured of a safe and caring home, this essential surgery must be available to everyone. C-SNIP is making that happen by providing pet owners with a spay/neuter clinic whose prices they can afford. Learn more about C-SNIP on this website.
