Spay/Neuter

Nearly 22,500 animals were euthanized in Hillsborough County in 2008 (16,200 cats and 6,300 dogs). The suffering and sorrow associated with pet overpopulation is overwhelming. HSTB believes the most effective way to reduce pet overpopulation is to reduce the number of unwanted litters being born.

Our Spay/Neuter Clinic opened in Spring 2000. Through December 2008, more than 53,872 owned dogs and cats have been sterilized. Our goal is to offer high quality, high volume sterilizations at low cost. We are able to do this through the modest fees we charge and the generosity of the many HSTB donors who support this program. Your pet's safety is our #1 concern.  We will not perform surgery on any pet if our veterinarians think there could be a problem and we never re-use syringes or needles. 

To make an appointment, please call (813)870-3304 Monday thru Friday between 9:00am and 4:00pm.  No one is availabe to take calls between 12 noon and 1:00pm each day.  The voicemail system may be full due to the high volume of calls, but please try calling again later if you are not able to leave a message.  Calls are returned as soon as possible but your patience is greatly appreciated.  To make an appointment, press 5 and speak to a receptionist.  We look forward to scheduling your pet for a spay/neuter.
