Spay/Neuter Program

It’s no secret that there’s an overpopulation of unwanted pets nationwide. Our community is no exception. These pets wind up in shelters where the overwhelming majority are euthanized or wander the streets and suffer from disease and malnutrition.

Spaying and neutering is the most effective and humane way to keep animals from being born “accidentally”, reducing the number of companion animals doomed from birth, and easing the burden of unwanted animals on our community.

We can help direct you to reduced rate clinics in the area, such as Five County Spay/Neuter Clinic. Five County Spay Neuter Clinic is located in Zebulon, NC and offers high-quality low-cost spays and neuters for cats and dogs. They offer a low-cost option for spays / neuters and initial vaccines to reduce unwanted litters and pet over-population. They also encourage continued health care for the pets that they spay / neuter. Other clinics include Tarboro Animal Clinic, and Stantonsburg Animal Clinic.

Advantages of Spaying/Neutering Your Pet

Spaying/neutering also provides tangible benefits for your pet and fewer headaches for you:
Your pet will live a longer, healthier, happier life.

You won’t have to deal with messy heat cycles.
Urine marking, “humping”, and the need to roam moderate.
Aggression diminishes.
The risk of developing certain cancers is significantly reduced.

Financial Assistance

We recognize that having a pet spayed or neutered can be expensive. Animal Crackers will provide financial assistance to pet owners in the Rocky Mount, N.C. area, depending on the availability of funds and your need. We are wholly dependent on the generosity of the community to fund our programs and, so, money may not always be available. We depend on the honor system and do not require proof of income but we do strive to confirm a genuine need for our help.
