spay/neuter programs

Spay/neuter programs involve surgically removing a pet's reproductive organs—spaying for females and neutering for males—to prevent unwanted litters. These programs help control the stray and shelter animal populations, improve animals' health, and often reduce certain behavioral issues. They are typically offered at low or no cost through local shelters and veterinary clinics, encouraging responsible pet ownership. Overall, spay/neuter initiatives are vital tools in managing animal populations humanely and promoting healthier, safer communities for both pets and people.
