ASPCA LAUNCHES THIRD MOBILE SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC
Today, we added a third mobile spay/neuter clinic to our fleet during a special ceremony at the ASPCA headquarters in Manhattan. The new 685-square-foot mobile spay/neuter van was generously donated by the Stephen M. Sander Foundation and will increase the ASPCA's ability to help control New York City's pet overpopulation, as well as provide medical assistance for countless New York City residents.
The new mobile spay/neuter clinic is one more example of how the ASPCA is helping New York City in its goal of becoming a humane community. In 2003, the ASPCA helped fund the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals, a coalition of more than 120 animal shelters and rescue groups, and in 2006, the city of New York, for the first time in its history, placed more than 50 percent of animals in city shelters into new homes.
With the new mobile clinic, the ASPCA hopes to spay/neuter more than 18,000 cats and dogs annually. The truck features amenities for veterinarians, vet techs and clients.
"The ASPCA is the single largest organization providing free and low cost spay/neuter to needy pet owners in New York City's five boroughs," said ASPCA President Ed Sayres. "We're also growing one of the largest mobile spay/neuter program in the country, and are proud to play an active role in taking New York City towards its goal of becoming a humane community."
For 10 years, the ASPCA's Mobile Clinic Outreach Program has offered free and low-cost spay/neuter surgery to New York City pet owners in need via two fully equipped mobile veterinary clinics. The mission of the outreach program is to put an end to the tragic euthanasia of healthy animals in New York City by addressing the animal overpopulation crisis at its source--in the heart of the city's local communities. Recognizing that many of the most serious overpopulation and animal health crises arise in neighborhoods with limited access to veterinary care and education on animal issues, the program brings these services directly to those communities. In 2006, the ASPCA's mobile clinics provided over 12,000 free and low-cost spay/neuter surgeries to cats and dogs.

I'd like to know what the ASPCA is doing in all the states, not just NYC. I appreciate the work the organization does in NYC very much, but by the same token, there are many other stories and actions in every other state in the union also. Keep up the fine job ASPCA!
Are there any adverse consequences neutering a dog 2 yrs old?
I would like to know when one of the mobile spay/nuter clinics will be in my neighborhood. How can I find out. By the way thanks to the aspca for caring.
I'd like to know-how much does it cost to spay a puppy or dog?
