Preventing tomorrow's shelter crisis today

Breaking the Cycle of PetOver population

Every year, thousands of healthy, loving animals enter shelters across Texas because there simply aren’t enough homes. The most effective solution? Making spay and neuter services accessible and affordable for every family.

Sometimes homeless animals find you, whether you can afford them or not.

We understand pet sterilization surgery represents a significant expense for many families.

That’s exactly why our assistance program exists – to ensure that loving, responsible families aren’t forced to choose between financial stability and proper pet care.

About our Program: Spread the Word!

The most impactful action we can take to address the suffering of homeless animals is to stop unwanted animals from being born.

For low-income residents, our certificate program pays for most of the cost of surgery. An online application is required, and the surgery is performed by a local veterinarian. We even have veterinary partners willing to help with higher-risk surgery candidates that discount providers can’t handle.

Helping people get their pets spayed or neutered is one of our strategic objectives. Our generous donors enable us to fund this program and reduce the number of animals needing sheltering in Bastrop County.
