What a Year Looks Like Here
8,900 surgeries. Fifteen counties. One clinic on South Walnut Street.
In 2025, our team performed 8,900 spay and neuter surgeries — the most in our twenty-year history. Spread across a Monday-through-Thursday schedule, that's roughly 700 patients a month arriving in carriers, on leashes, and occasionally in traps with towels over them.
This page is the ledger. No inspiration, just arithmetic — the kind donors make possible.
The Numbers
Every surgery is subsidized by donors and grants — that's the entire reason a $90 price exists.
Ray J came home
Ray J escaped his carrier just before his appointment and disappeared into the woods behind our clinic. Scared and skittish, he stayed hidden for a month.
His family and our staff never gave up. They took turns searching, calling his name, and leaving food where he might find it. Kari from our team spent evenings and weekends slowly earning his trust — until the day she could finally scoop him up and carry him inside. Ray J went home to his family.
Help Us Be There for the Next One“Every animal that comes through our doors deserves to experience the very best of humankind.”
— Autumn Allor, Executive Director
How the Math Works
A cat surgery costs a family $90. A dog costs $130. The rest of the true cost — equipment, medicine, licensed veterinary staff — is covered by people who decided a stranger's pet was worth keeping healthy.
That's not a metaphor. It's a line item, 8,900 times a year.
