Happy Tails: Affordable surgery option helped Blackie get neutered
Ms. McFather found a 1-month-old little black kitten on her front porch after a momma cat dropped him off and disappeared. Ms. McFather didn’t want the little kitten to die, so she took him into her home and gave him a new life and a name, Blackie.
Now that Blackie is 8 months old, Ms. McFather knew she needed to get him neutered. Ms. McFather is on a limited income and, after calling several full-service vets, was very depressed about getting Blackie neutered. After hearing of her struggles to find a more affordable vet option, a friend suggested Spay Neuter Network. Ms. McFather made an appointment to get Blackie neutered. Ms. McFather said, “I am so glad that SNN is here to offer low-cost neuters because people like me, on a very limited income, need someone like SNN to help us take care of our pets.”
Ms. McFather brought Blackie to our Crandall clinic to get neutered. He also received a free FVRCP vaccine. After Blackie’s surgery, Ms. McFather said, “Blackie is doing great because the staff cares and took good care of him.”

While on Facebook, Amber stumbled upon a “rehoming pets” page where she found a beautiful, 2-year-old dog named Roxy Bañuelos that immediately stole her heart.
According to Amber, Roxy Bañuelos’s owner could no longer care for her dog and had an appointment to surrender her to the city shelter. Roxy Bañuelos’ current family, however, hoped to rehome her rather than keep that appointment. Amber and her boyfriend were ecstatic they could make Roxy Bañuelos part of their family that day.
Roxy Bañuelos went into heat that first week in her new home. So, Amber scheduled her spay/neuter surgery appointment with our San Antonio clinic a few weeks out. Amber got Roxy Bañuelos fixed, vaccinated, and on heartworm preventative within a month of bringing her home.
“I truly want to say thank you for making me feel comfortable leaving her in safe hands. I was very nervous about her surgery, but everyone was so friendly and nice. She made a great recovery and is as happy as can be. She’s definitely a goofball.”

Rocky received affordable care keeping him healthy

Martha needed to get her dog, Rocky, neutered. But she could not find an affordable veterinary clinic near where she lived. That’s because Martha lives in a veterinary desert – a part of town where there is no access to veterinary care for many miles. These deserts exist because veterinary clinics typically located in more affluent areas of town, where people have more disposable income to care for their pets. These practices leave low-income communities without affordable pet care near where they live.
That’s where Spay Neuter Network helps. We operate most of our clinics in veterinary deserts and offer transport services for spay/neuter surgeries to and from our clinics if pet owners have transportation issues that might prevent them from getting to our clinic. The goal is to provide every pet equal access to basic pet care, which includes spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, microchips, and preventatives for flea, tick and heartworm.
When Martha’s husband discovered it would only cost $85 to get their 11.5-lb. dog, Rocky, neutered, rabies vaccinated, and microchipped, he told his wife to make the appointment “right away.”
Post-surgery, Martha told our staff, “I am 100% grateful for your services today, and for fixing the pets in our community. I will help spread the word in my neighborhood, so other pet owners can find these services for their pets too.”

An affordable fix gets Magmus a home
An affordable fix gets Magmus a home
Kelley couldn’t help but notice a one-month-old kitten wandering and mewing around a dumpster outside a restaurant. With no mother cat around, this kitten, who was barely a pound, appeared to be an orphan. Kelley approached and was able to pick up the kitten. Kelley already had one kitten and thought, “it would be great to have a playmate for her other kitten.”
During this time, Kelley fell in love with Magmus and wanted to make him a part of the family. But she soon discovered that affordable vet care was not available nearby. She thought she might have to surrender Magmus to the shelter. Thankfully, a friend told Kelley about our affordable services. So, when Magmus was old enough, she got him neutered, rabies vaccinated, and microchipped for just $55 at our Crandall, Texas, clinic. “Thanks to SNN, Magnus is fixed and will live with me forever,” Kelley says.
