Over 35,000 Surgeries Since 2015
Offering subsidized spay, neuter & pet wellness services in Columbia, MO.
The Spay Neuter Project was founded with one clear purpose: to reduce unnecessary euthanasia in shelters by preventing unwanted litters before they are born.
We believe cost should never be a barrier to responsible pet care. By offering high-quality services at low cost, we help families keep their pets healthy, support rescue organizations doing critical work, and reduce the number of unwanted animals entering shelters.
Spay and neuter is the single most effective solution to:
-
Prevent unwanted litters
-
Reduce shelter intake and overcrowding
-
Lower euthanasia rates
-
Improve the health and behavior of pets
​
​
​
Every surgery performed represents litters that will never be born into uncertainty, homelessness, or overcrowded shelters. That prevention saves lives — quietly, compassionately, and long before a shelter kennel is ever needed.
This is proactive care with lasting impact. When we prevent unwanted litters, we give shelters room to say yes, families the chance to keep their pets, and animals the opportunity to live full, healthy lives.

Our Work
Making a Difference
Promoting Responsible Pet Ownership
Through our spay/neuter programs, we strive to reduce pet overpopulation and improve the overall health and well-being of animals. We believe that responsible pet ownership is crucial to creating a sustainable and compassionate community.
Improving Length and Quality of Life
Our wellness program is directed at providing convenient, affordable access to fundamental, core healthcare, critical to every pet's quality and quantity of life. By educating the public about basic vaccines, wellness, and testing, we can ensure pets, and their owners remain healthy. We believe we can help families have longer, healthier lives with their furry family members.
Partnerships for Impact
We collaborate with our local pet owners, community shelters, rescue groups, and animal welfare organizations to maximize our impact. Donors, volunteers, and supporters are the backbone of SNP. By combining all of our assets, and sharing the workload, we create a network of support and resources to improve the lives of animals in our community, throughout Missouri, and the surrounding states.
Educating & Engaging
Our community outreach initiatives focus on our partnerships with rescue organizations, and advocacy groups to educate and engage pet owners, law-makers, and community groups about the importance of spaying/neutering and responsible pet care. We strive for more informed and compassionate community leadership and members.
