(SNSI) is to eliminate the killing of healthy and treatable cats, dogs, puppies and kittens. SNSI will accomplish this by providing spay/neuter surgical fee assistance through partnerships with private practice veterinarians and low-cost clinics, collaborating with other animal welfare groups, and promoting humane education. High Quality, Low Cost Spay/Neuter SNSI can offer low-cost, affordable spay/neuter prices to pet owners because, as a non-profit 501c3 organization, we receive private donations and grants that allow us to subsidize the true, higher cost of spay/neuter surgeries. This keeps our prices low for our clients. Standard of Care SNSI believes that all animals should receive the highest quality veterinary care possible, even if the services provided are at a reduced-cost. The vets that SNSI partners with use state of the art instruments and equipment. Our vets do not cut corners or compromise quality. All spay/neuter surgeries are performed by qualified, licensed veterinarians (DVMs). If you wish, you may personally verify a veterinary license at https://extranet.in.gov/weblookup/.

Back to top How you can help... National statistics estimate that somewhere between four and six million unwanted cats, dogs, kittens and puppies are killed in US shelters every year. There are several ways that you can help be part of the solution to end the killing. Spay or Neuter your pet. Adopt a pet from your local shelter or rescue group. Do not buy a pet from a breeder or pet store. Support animal organizations committed to ending animal suffering. Educate your children and others about responsible pet ownership. "No other disease or condition of companion animals takes as many lives as euthanasia. In fact, no other disease comes close." -Janet M. Scarlett, DVM, Ph.D, Cornell University. Back to top
