Alabama Spay/Neuter  Free Transport
Not all counties have an aggressive spay/neuter program like Alabama Spay/Neuter's. We want to prevent the euthanasia of companion animals, not just in Birmingham but all so in the surrounding areas. 
Alabama Spay/Neuter works with the Chilton County Humane society and the Shelby County Humane Society. Both are seeing a significant reduction if their intake rates. "In the last 6 months, our intake has declined by approximately 500 animals (15%) over the previous year. It's really amazing how much of a difference that fifteen percent makes....We believe that a greater emphasis on spay/neuter is responsible for the reduction in intake and would like to extend a special thank you to our friends at the Alabama Spay/Neuter Clinic for providing us and our community with quality, low cost spay/neuter services. " said Joe Murphy, the Director of Chilton County Humane Society. 

 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. Visit our Transport page for more information on how your pet can catch a free ride.

Charlie Browns Story


Charlie Brown's Story
One of our employees at Alabama Spay/Neuter found Charlie Brown,  an energetic mix breed with a sweet disposition. Charlie Brown was found behind the Birmingham Airport in the Eastlake area and was brought to Alabama Spay/Neuter to be altered. He is good with children and other dogs. Charlie Brown is a very luck dog... most stray dogs are sent to animal shelters, where hopefully they will be adopted, but in most cases are euthanized due to a lack of space.
Over 150,000 healthy, adoptable dogs and cats,  like Charlie Brown, were euthanized in Alabama shelters last year.
Spaying/ Neutering is the only humane solution.
“By brining to light the need for spaying and neutering and with the Alabama Spay/Neuter Clinic continuing to do what they do, we will have a safer cleaner community because we will have less strays ( hopefully no strays) running at large.” commented Jacque Meyer, director of the Greater Birmingham Humane Society.
Our goal is to stem the tide of unwanted and abandoned companion animals though our aggressive spay/neuter program. Shelters and Humane Societies in the Central Alabama area are reporting reductions in animal intake and euthanasia rates. “In the last 6 months, our intake has declined by approximately 500 animals (15%) over the previous year. It's really amazing how much of a difference that fifteen percent makes.” says Joe Murphy, director of the Chilton County Humane Society.
Alabama Spay/Neuter is already making a significant impact.... and this is just the beginning! But we can not do it alone, Alabama Spay/Neuter needs everyones help.

Remember its HIP TO SNIP!
