Did you know that you can help reduce the 6-8 million unwanted dogs and cats entering animal shelters each year?

Spay It Forward is a program to help limit the number of unwanted pets entering our area’s rescues and shelters; it is a cost-share program that provides financial assistance to reduce the overall cost of owner dog/cat spay/neuter surgeries at Rochester Community Animal Clinic. Grants provided are given on a case-by-case basis and will cover a portion of the spay/neuter surgery cost. If you need assistance with surgery costs, please apply here. 

Benefits of spay/neuter:

• Spaying and neutering prevents unwanted pregnancies.
• Spaying and neutering improves pet health by reducing or even eliminating the chance of issues such as uterine infections, prostatic disease, and several forms of cancer.
• Spaying and neutering generally leads to better behaved, easier to train, and less aggressive pets. 
• Spaying and neutering reduces the number of unwanted pets. 

Donations needed: If you want to give back to the pets and families in need, consider donating to Rochester Hope for Pets’ Spay It Forward program. Your donations will go towards providing cost-share grants for low-cost spay/neuter services at Rochester Community Animal Clinic.
