NOOTERS Club® Nationwide Spay/Neuter Resource List Tops 100




Pet owners looking for affordable sterilization for their pets now have access to more than 100 low-cost, high-quality spay and neuter clinics around the U.S., courtesy of NOOTERS Club® which compiles and posts a comprehensive online clinic directory.

The NOOTERS Club® spay and neuter clinic directory, posted at http://www.nootersclub.org/, includes 115 facilities in 43 states offering reduced cost, high-quality spay and neuter services for dogs and cats.  Most clinics are run by rescue groups, shelters and humane societies.  The directory features clinic website links, phone numbers and information on clinic services and pet owner eligibility.  Some clinics, for example, post household income requirements.  The directory also includes a number of state-specific spay and neuter hotlines that put pet owners in touch with additional spay and neuter resources.

By posting the directory, NOOTERS Club® is hoping to provide pet owners with access to resources they otherwise might not have.   Low- cost spay and neuter clinics, typically run by nonprofit organizations, can be difficult to locate as they have little money for advertising and promotion.

“We get dozens of emails and calls every week from people who want to do the right thing for their pet, but lack the financial resources,” said Linda Wasche, founder and president of NOOTERS Club®.  “Often times, pet owners simply don’t know where to go so we are trying to bridge that gap.”

Pet owners should contact clinics on the list directly if they have questions or would like more information on clinic services, appointments times or eligibility.

Prevent Littering is a registered trademark of NOOTERS Club® and Nooterwear, inc.  NOOTERS Club®, based in Sylvan Lake, Michigan, participates in pet-related events and expos around the U.S. and sells its products nationwide as well as in the United Kingdom.

Low-cost spay and neuter clinics that would like to have their facilities included in the directory should email the name of the clinic, web address, contact name and phone number to Lindaw@nootersclub.org

  2. This service is definitely a great help to many pet owners and it helps preventing littering too. The only low-cost spay and neuter clinic here is the SPCA and they really do a good job. They usually just charge a small fees if the pet owners can prove they are low incomers. However, I do hope more pet clinics can give this service for a lower cost too.

  3. thanks to both of you for your comments. Yes it is a great service that I think many people do not even know exists. Hopefully we can spread the word and help pet owners who need financial assistance to be able to spay/neuter their pets.

    Thanks so much Inigo Flufflebum and d'Artagnan Rumblepurr and Priscilla for your comments!
