Spay and neuter prevents unexpected or unwanted reproduction—often the cause of homeless animals and the reason for higher costs of animal control and the need for sheltering programs. Animal shelters are overburdened with surplus animals, and an estimated 4 to 5 million animals are euthanized each year. By ensuring your pet is spayed or neutered, your pet cannot add to the overpopulation, allowing shelters to have more room for the animals already there, and allows them to find homes for the ones already there.
Below are some resources for free or low cost spay and neuter programs throughout the Chicagoland area.
