Myths About Spay/Neuter:

1. My pet will get fat.

Pets more often gain weight because of overfeeding and lack of exercise.

2. I can't spay/neuter my pet because he is a purebred.

One out of four animals sitting in shelters are purebred. There are not enough homes for both purebreds and mixed breeds.

3. I want my children to experience the miracle of birth.

Sadly, euthanization of unwanted pets at shelters overshadows the miracle. Your children will learn much more if you teach them how precious life is by spaying/neutering your family pet.

4. My dog won't hunt if he is neutered.

In truth, an un-neutered dog can be distracted from the hunt. Neutering does not have any effect on a dog's personality, instinct,

Did you know that research has shown that the majority of dog bites are by
un-neutered males?

Spay & Neuter

Why Spay & Neuter?
The reasons make sense.

It saves lives:
By spaying/neutering your pet, you help to reduce the numbers of homeless animals that are euthanized in our local shelters each year. Spaying and neutering your pet is the greatest contribution you can make to the welfare of animals in our community!

Better health and longer life for pets:
Scientific research shows that companion animals who are spayed/neutered live longer and are less likely to develop cancer and infections. It's actually a myth that allowing a pet to have a litter first is better for the pet.

Pets have fewer behavioral problems:
Spaying/neutering your pet can reduce many undesirable behaviors such as spraying, roaming, aggression and mounting.

The Madison-Greene Humane Society Spay/Neuter Clinic is committed to ending companion animal overpopulation by providing low cost, quality spay and neuter services. We also offer low-cost vaccinations only at the time of surgery.

See the Spay & Neuter page for costs and information about our Spay/Neuter Clinic.
