Mission: To ensure the well being of companion animals, while ending overpopulation, abuse and unwarranted euthanasia.

Programs: Our Low-Cost Spay and Neuter program performed 4,140 surgeries in 2008 – bringing our total to over 40,000 spay/neuter surgeries since 1993.We work with low-income pet owners, feral cat colony caretakers and pit bull owners to spay or neuter pets that otherwise wouldn‘t be altered. With our new state of the art mobile clinic, we also travel to smaller partner organizations, where we have performed nearly 1,000 low-cost surgeries for adoptable animals from organizations including Fayette SPCA, Washington Area Humane Society, Clarion PAWS and Butler County Humane Society. Each year, Animal Friends must raise $392,000 to operate the Low-Cost Spay and Neuter Program and significantly impact pet overpopulation in our region.
