Spay/Neuter Clinic
Affordable Spay/Neuter Clinic
Our spay/neuter clinic is open to the public with safe and convenient curbside drop off and pick up service.
Reduce pet overpopulation and make your loved one healthier
The Tails Spay/Neuter clinic is a non-profit surgical clinic that provides high quality, affordable spay/neuter surgeries and preventive care. Our vision is to reduce dog and cat overpopulation so that all pets have a loving home.
Tails recognizes the direct link between the sterilization of pets and the pet overpopulation crisis. Which is why we operate the area’s only affordable spay/neuter clinic. We believe cost should not be a barrier to any pet owner who wants to do their part to help control the pet population.
