Spay and Neuter Program

Making an impact on pet overpopulation

PAWS provides a free and low cost spay/neuter program. PAWS volunteers have regularly gone the extra mile, arranging appointments for those without phones, providing transportation for those who cannot get their animals to the clinics and spending countless hours educating the public about the benefits of having pets that are spay/neutered.

Since 1998, PAWS of Bainbridge has spay/neutered 1,773 animals at a cost of $199,840.
