Spay Day

National Spay Day


Alabama Spay/Neuter, in conjunction with Friends of Cats and Dogs Foundation, hosted a free spay neuter clinic on Tuesday, February 22, 2011 for the the residence of the Greater Birmingham area, in recognition of Spay Day. We sterilized 70 cats and dogs for those who can not afford to have their pets fixed. We will be hosting more of these free days in the future.

The free clinic is a 'Needs Based' program, available to people who are unable to afford to spay and neuter their cats and dogs due to financial hardship.

Alabama Spay/Neuter and Friends of Cats and Dogs Foundation are 501 (c)(3) non-profit organizations, dedicated to preventing pet overpopulation across Central Alabama. Alabama Spay/Neuter, in conjunction with Friends of Cats and Dogs Foundation and other donors help the Greater Birmingham area by donating $5,000 to sponsor a free day. 

Alabama Spay/Neuter's Mission: To provide high-volume,
low-cost sterilization as the only humane, sustainable solution to the
overpopulation of dogs and cats in Central Alabama. To maintain the
highest level of veterinary care and customer service. To address and
respond to the needs of our customers and to the best of our ability,
assure that our services are available to everyone.

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.

Merry fiX-MAS!

Tis the season to give so Alabama Spay/ Neuter has joined forces with Greater Birmingham Humane Society, Chilton Humane Society, Shelby Humane Society to organize a free spay and neuter day, a.k.a Merry fiX-MAS.  This is important because we have reached out to the people out there who can not afford to get their pet spayed or neutered.. This is just one way we are giving back to the community. 

On our Merry fiX-MAS we sterilized 62 pets: 20 for the Greater Birmingham Humane society, 10 for Chilton County Humane Society, 12 for Shelby County Humane Society and 20 from other various animal activists. Our fiX-MAS doctors are Dr. Kelly Johnson and Dr. Margret Ferrell.  

“Through collaborative efforts we are able to give free spay and neuters to those who are less fortunate... We hope to have more of these free days with the help of passionate donors, giving the gift of $5,000 which equals one free spay/neuter day.” says Danielle Pelt Marketing Specialist of Alabama Spay/Neuter.

Alabama Spay/Neuter is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has performed nearly 28,000 high quality spay/neuter surgeries since June 2008. Alabama Spay/Neuter's mission is to prevent the over population and euthanasia of companion animals in Central Alabama by providing high quality, low cost spay/neutering.

We have a transport that goes to counties surrounding Birmingham and we need your help in promoting this service in your community. We are also looking for volunteers that can transport dogs and cats to and from the Clinic, especially in areas that we do not currently reach with our transport.

Record Breaking Day!

Alabama Spay/Neuter busted 102 surgeries in one day! 

     Since June 2008, Alabama Spay/ Neuter has been busy performing high quality, low cost surgeries. On November 15, 2010 Alabama Spay/ Neuter hit an all time record of spaying and neutering 102 animals in one day with the hard work of three vets Dr. Kelly Johnson, Dr. Margaret Ferrell, and Dr. Haley Burke. Thanks to our highly dedicated staff the performance was handled professionally and safely.  


   "We are very proud of our doctors and technicians for an amazing job and being so passionate about their work." commented Carolyn Tittle, Director of Surgical Procedures.


      The number of pets spayed/neutered was 41 female cats, 20 female dogs, 31 male cats and 11 male dogs, making a total of 102 surgeries. In the future we hope to surpass this record by achieving our goal of performing 120 to 150 surgeries in one day with the aid of 4 veterinarians. 

    

     Alabama Spay/Neuter strives to prevent the overpopulation and euthanasia of companion animals in Central Alabama.
