Champions for Pet Health | Dec. 7, 2025
HSSV, in partnership with La Russa Rescue Champions, the Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation, BISSELL Pet Foundation, and Maddie’s Fund, is proud to offer free spay/neuter surgeries for cats, kittens, and dogs under 20 lbs—including family pets, shelter animals, and foster pets in need.
Spaces are limited. Please schedule your appointment by December 1, 2025.
Demand for spay and neuter services is at an all-time high, and we’re committed to meeting that need in the most effective way possible. Our programs focus on helping at-risk animals and supporting families with limited access to affordable care.
We offer targeted spay and neuter services for small dogs (under 40lbs), and cats. By concentrating our efforts where we can do the most good, we’re working to reduce pet overpopulation and improve the health and well-being of animals in our community.

The Benefits of Spay & Neuter
Spaying and neutering are simple medical procedures that provide lifelong health and behavioral benefits for your pet.
- Spaying helps prevent serious health conditions in female pets, such as uterine infections and cancer, and can significantly reduce the risk of breast cancer. It also helps pet parents avoid the high costs associated with emergency surgeries or raising unexpected litters.
- Neutering can protect male pets from testicular cancer and often improves behavior, making pets less likely to roam, mark territory, or exhibit aggression. In addition to supporting your pet’s health and behavior, spaying or neutering contributes to the broader goal of preventing pet overpopulation.
