Here’s what happens when you bring your pet to Alabama Spay + Neuter

• Pets arrive by car or on the transport truck in the morning.
• After arriving, pets are greeted by a veterinary assistant who escorts them to their assigned kennel where they wait to be checked-in.
• Next, each pet is checked in and carefully examined by a veterinarian.
• Pets are then taken to be prepped for their operation where they are anesthetized, shaved and prepared for surgery.
• Post-surgery, they recover on a warm heated blanket where they are monitored by a veterinary assistant.
• After recovery time, they return to their assigned kennel where they receive an afternoon snack and some water.
• Shortly after snack-time, pets are checked again by a veterinarian to make sure they are ready to go home that afternoon or the following morning.

It’s amazing to see how much the staff at Alabama Spay + Neuter cares for each animal that comes through the door. It is clear they love animals and they love the work they do, helping to prevent homeless pets in our community and beyond.

Alabama Spay + Neuter’s mission

Did you know that every year, according to Alabama Spay + Neuter, tens of thousands cats and dogs are euthanized in the state of Alabama? This is due to overpopulation of stray pets on the streets and very limited space in our local shelters. Alabama Spay + Neuter helps solve that problem. The organization is on a mission to reduce overpopulation of pets by offering low-cost sterilization with the highest quality medical care to pets across the state.

“In the last five years, our team has spayed/neutered over 71,000 dogs and cats in our clinic. This plays a huge part in helping reduce the overpopulation of companion animals, reduces crowding in shelters, and saves the lives of adoptable and innocent animals in our state.”
