Programs: Mississippi Spay and Neuter gives pet owners access to low-cost spay and neuter services for their dogs and cats at the Big Fix Clinic, a high-volume spay/neuter clinic located in Pearl.
We provide free transportation every month from Lauderdale, Pike and Warren Counties.
For MS residents outside the service area of any spay/neuter clinics, we provide vouchers to assist with the cost of surgery at a local participating veterinarian.
The big fix clinic's targeted efforts help reduce the number of unwanted dogs and cats that subsequently end up homeless, neglected, and euthanized in the jackson metro area. Also, in this program, ms span operates a fixed location in pearl, ms, which is centrally located in mississippi to enable a greater number of people to have access to our spay and neuter services. During 2014 approximately 5,307 cats and dogs were spayed or neutered.
