ALABAMA SPAY NEUTER

On June 4, 2008, Alabama Spay/Neuter opened their doors performing nine surgeries. Over the next 15 months, the clinic performed 12, 124 spay/neuter surgeries from their temporary facility - a double-wide trailer. Alabama Spay/Neuter moved to their permanent facility where they began operations on September 10, 2009. The new state-of-the-art facility was designed and built specifically as a high-volume, high-quality spay/neuter clinic. The new facility measures over 6, 700 square feet with four surgery suites and a capacity of well over 100 high-quality spay/neuter surgeries per day.

Alabama Spay/Neuter serves a 13-county area (Jefferson, Tuscaloosa, Walker, Cullman, Blount, Bibb, Chilton, Shelby, St. Clair, Etowah, Calhoun, Talladega and Tallapoosa). Many customers bring their pet directly to the clinic while others utilize the clinic's free transport. To serve outlying areas, Alabama Spay/Neuter provides transportation to and from specific pick-up points on a regularly-scheduled basis. The clinic is also at the forefront of spay/neuter programs targeting free-roaming and feral cats, as well as T-N-R training. Thanks to the dedication and hard work of many, Alabama Spay/Neuter continues to spay and neuter thousands of companion animals in Central Alabama.

Each year, Alabama animal shelters euthanize over 150, 000 dogs and cats. Three out of four are healthy, adoptable dogs and cats waiting to be someone's loving pet. The fate of these animals was the incentive for the creation of the Alabama Spay/Neuter. Incorporated as a (501-C-3) non-profit organization in March 2007, Alabama Spay/Neuter's Board of Directors felt that opening a facility that provided high-quality, high-volume, low-cost spay/neutering was the only sustainable way to end the overpopulation of dogs and cats in Central Alabama.
