UPDATE: A free spay/neuter clinic has just opened in Austin, running from November 13 through November 17, 2025, aiming to benefit 1,200 pets. Austin Animal Services has teamed up with Greater Good Charities to provide crucial veterinary services for pet owners in Austin and Travis County, addressing the urgent issue of animal overpopulation.
This clinic, located at 11580 Stonehollow Dr., Suite 160, Austin, TX 78758, offers not just spay and neuter surgeries, but also free vaccinations, microchips, and flea/tick prevention treatments. As costs for these services can soar from $75 to several hundred dollars, this initiative is a vital resource for many families facing financial strain.
“We’re committed to ensuring every pet owner—regardless of their income—has access to services that keep pets healthy and communities safe,” stated Rolando Fernandez, Interim Director of Animal Services. This initiative responds to the critical challenge of animal overpopulation that leads to increased strays and unwanted litters in neighborhoods.
The clinic is expected to draw significant crowds, with services available on a first-come, first-served basis. Pet owners are advised to arrive early, as registration begins at 6:00 AM and ends by 10:00 AM or until capacity is reached. This is the sixth free clinic in just one year, building on the success of past events that have already helped over 5,000 pets.
The urgency of this initiative cannot be overstated. With more than 1,200 pets poised to receive care, this clinic is a crucial step in promoting responsible pet ownership and ensuring community safety. Organizers are committed to continuing these efforts with another event anticipated in early 2026.
As Austin continues to reaffirm its dedication to animal welfare, this clinic exemplifies a community-focused approach to pet health care. The impact resonates deeply, not only for pet owners but for the entire community, as it addresses the fundamental right of every animal to receive quality care and responsible treatment.
This urgent initiative is not just about reducing numbers; it’s about uplifting the livelihoods of pets and their owners, ensuring safer streets, and fostering a community that cares for its animals. Share this news to spread the word and help make a difference for Austin’s furry friends!
