Working to bring Accessible Spay/Neuter services to Durham Region

Every pet deserves a chance at an healthy and happy life. It is this belief that drives Spay Neuter Initiatives Association to offer our accessible, low-cost spay/neuter veterinary program. Our volunteer-driven program, proudly provides low-cost and/or subsidized spaying and neutering services for the beloved animals of our lower-income residents.

More Info

Our deepest gratitude goes to our dedicated community partner veterinarians, who show unwavering dedication to this cause. Their expertise and compassion ensure all animals receive the best possible care.

Our sincere thanks to individuals, businesses and municipalities, whose generous financial contributions reflect their acknowledgment of the urgent pet overpopulation crisis in our region. 100% of every dollar donated goes towards our Spay/Neuter program.

Mission Statement

Spay Neuter Initiatives Association is dedicated to promoting responsible pet guardianship and reducing the over population of companion animals through accessible and affordable spay and neutering services.

Our mission is to create a humane and sustainable community where every companion animal has the opportunity to live a healthy, happy life free from the challenges and dangers of overpopulation.

“Accessible is simply defined as available to as many pet guardians as possible. Accessible Spay/Neuter programs remove existing barriers to the availability of sterilization. Such programs include those that offer subsidized Spay/Neuter surgery, those that are high volume, high-quality clinics, and those that are able to bring clinics to the animals or vice versa.”

When Can I Spay or Neuter My Pet?

We can spay or neuter kittens around the five month marker, and puppies around six months of age. Sometimes vets like to wait until extra-large breeds (ie. St.Bernards, Great Danes, etc) are eight to twelve months old. Sometimes, earlier spays or neuters are the better option to prevent litters. Please fill out an application and we can assist you!

A STEP FORWARD FOR PETS IN DURHAM REGIONWe want to share important news with our supporters and the animal-loving communities of Durham Region.‼️The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society – Durham Region Animal Centre (1505 Wentworth Street, Whitby) will be opening a new low-cost, high-volume spay/neuter clinic on March 2, 2026.‼️➡️SNIP learned of this new program only recently and did not receive advance notice to share with our applicants. While we were not involved in the planning process, we are choosing to meet this moment with optimism — because spay/neuter is one of the most powerful tools communities have to protect companion animals.It prevents unwanted litters, reduces shelter overcrowding, improves long-term health, and helps pets stay safely in their homes. Any program that expands access to affordable sterilization is a win for animals and the families who love them.As this new clinic opens, SNIP will continue supporting applicants who have already paid a deposit and wish to proceed with their scheduled surgery. At this time, we will not be accepting new applications while our Board of Directors evaluates where SNIP can have the greatest impact moving forward.To our incredible partner veterinary clinics: your compassion has changed lives. You’ve taken on the toughest cases, supported families in crisis, and built a lifeline for pets with nowhere else to turn. We are endlessly grateful. ❤️ 🙏 Change can be a positive turning point.We remain deeply committed to the animals of Durham Region who rely on all of us.#DurhamRegion #AnimalWelfare #SpayNeuterSavesLives #CommunityCare #PetsFirst ...
