Millions of dogs and cats are euthanized in the United States every year due to pet overpopulation. It has been estimated that there are over 60 million homeless animals in the United States alone: a staggering rate of more than a million per state.

According to Department of Agriculture 2006 statistics 125,012 dogs and cats were euthanized in Illinois animal controls and shelters. This number does not include animals that never made it to the shelter or shelters that did not report their data correctly or perhaps at all.

Together we can end the suffering of homeless pets.

Fixing your pet (also known as spaying/neutering) means fewer pets added to the overpopulation in our state. Spaying/neutering is the best way to avoid the problem of unwanted pets, and one of the kindest things you can do for animals. Spaying and neutering saves lives.

5 Saves Lives – Spay your pet before 5 months of age!

No animal should die just because it is homeless.

Spay Illinois is proud to offer affordable Spay/Neuter programs, low cost Vaccine programs, and resources to provide Feral Cat and Pit Bull services.

Help care for the animals we love by:

  • Spaying and neutering your pet by 6 months old
  • Vaccinating your pet annually
