Why are Spay and Neuter Services Important?

At Texas Humane Heroes, our mission is to end pet homeslessness. Spaying and neutering is best practice for the health of your pet and the well-being of our community.

Spaying helps prevent uterine infections and breast tumors, which are malignant or cancerous in about 50 percent of dogs and 90 percent of cats. Spaying your pet before her first heat offers the best protection from these diseases. Neutering your dog/cat prevents testicular cancer and some prostate problems. Overpopulation can be detrimental to the health and wellbeing of the community and individual animals. Spaying/Neutering helps to keep the population in check.

At Texas Humane Heroes, we aim to keep pet ownership affordable by sterilizing every pet we adopt out and by providing low-cost spay/neuter services to the public. Learn more about our public spay/neuter services.
