Mission
To provide a quality, affordable and accessible opportunity for people spay and neuter their companion animals so that someday we can end pet overpopulation in Hillsborough County.
Solution
Accessible and affordable spays and neuters.
Facts
- FACT: Euthanasia used as a means of population control kills more dogs and cats than all other diseases put together.
- FACT: Each day, in Hillsborough County, approximately 75 dogs and cats are euthanized at our local shelter. 75. Everyday. No holidays. No sick days. No nights and weekends.
- FACT: This death march will continue until we, the public, stopping bringing them boxes of puppies and kittens we didn’t mean to have.
- FACT: For every home we find for that litter, we have taken a potential home from another puppy or kitten who would live if he had a chance, if he had a family to love him, feed him and give him a place to sleep.
Kill the problem, not the pet. Spay or neuter now. Do it for your pet’s health. Do it for your peace of mind. Do it for love. Just do it.
Support Spay/Neuter Programs
The ACT Spay Neuter Clinic was opened in March 2006 to provide people with a means to do the right thing. Our prices are low and our margins are thin. But if you can’t afford our low prices, check into the Hillsborough County Voucher that we honor. Call us!
Animal Coalition of Tampa
The ACT Clinic is established to give people an affordable way to do the right thing. Last year, over 44,000 dogs and cats were euthanized in the Tampa Bay area because there just were not enough homes for them all.
Please spay or neuter now so that we dont have to destroy their offspring.
Beliefs
We believe that all living creatures have inherent value and are deserving of an acceptable quality of life. Euthanasia as a means of population control has no place in this vision. ACT's primary focus is high volume spay/neuter programs to reduce the number of companion animals entering Hillsborough County's shelter, and in turn, to eliminate euthanasia.
Currently, ACT is involved in four major projects to achieve this end.
ACT Spay/Neuter Clinic: high volume, low cost sugeries taking dogs and cats. Call 813-250-3900 for reservations.
SpayDay: a monthly volunteer-based spay/neuter progrm for feral cats of Hillsborough County, and
Stride for Strays: an annual fundraiser to increase awareness and support for local spay/neuter efforts.
ASPCA® Mission: Orange™: ACT has been invited to partner in venture sponsored by the ASPCA to move Hillsborough County to a No Kill Community. We are still at the very beginning. In the meantime, please see ASCPAs website for more info on ASPCA® Mission: Orange™
Spay Florida : ACT has been invited to represent Florida in the National Spay/ USA .
SPAY/USA, a program of the North Shore Animal League America, is a network of volunteers
and veterinarians working together to popularize and facilitate spay/neuter services through a
nationwide referral service. Our mission is to end cat/dog overpopulation. We put people in
touch with veterinarians or programs in their area that will spay/neuter cats and dogs affordably
. Where no programs exist, we help volunteers start them, and we hold conferences annually to
empower volunteers to create successful programs, coalitions and statewide networks wherever
possible. For more info, see www.spayflorida.org
