Spay Neuter - Saving Lives and Saving Money
The Oklahoma Spay Network has reviewed the results of the enactment and enforcement of spay/neuter ordinances in Oklahoma cities and towns. While the impact varies, Tulsa, Lawton and Claremore have had significant success in reducing shelter intakes through these ordinances. Euthanasia rates have also decreased in all three cities.

Oklahoma Spay Network Mobile Services
Oklahoma Spay Network operates a mobile spay neuter unit in order to serve remote rural areas or to provide a targeted effort in specific communities.
Our off-board recovery mobile unit provides the highest standard of care for pets throughout rural Oklahoma while maintaining a cost effective approach to serving low-income neighborhoods. Our spay/ neuter unit is a custom built CM steel trailer with two surgery tables, a surgery area separated from the prep area and all of our staff has a background in high volume spay/ neuter programs.
Oklahoma Spay Network
Breaking ground in 1999, Oklahoma Spay Network was the first comprehensive, low-income spay/neuter program in Oklahoma. We serve mainly rural areas by providing spay/neuter services, informational assistance, mentoring and networking.
In 1999 we started transporting animals each month from southeast Oklahoma to a spay/ neuter clinic over 70 miles away. We have since added a spay/ neuter clinic in Durant and a mobile program which serves low population rural communities across the state.
Oklahoma Spay Network encourages the development of high volume, low-income spay/ neuter programs to assist those households that have historically been unable to afford to have a pet spayed or neutered at the regular costs, and which contribute to the overwhelming number of homeless pets nationwide.
If you are looking for a place to get your pet spayed or neutered, please check out our list of independently operated spay/ neuter programs that exist throughout Oklahoma. Included on this site are all standing spay/ neuter clinics in the state, a list of mobile locations and a list of private animal hospitals which have programs to encourage pet owners to have pets spayed or neutered.
If you are looking for information on helping your community find humane solutions to pet overpopulation and other companion animal related issues, please check back with our site as we continue to grow. We look forward to providing sample animal control ordinances that support your efforts to help animals and the communities they live in.
We encourage organizations to base their programs on an assessment of the area focused on identifying the number of homes needing services and the Oklahoma Spay Network supports spay/ neuter ordinances and other municipal codes which offer animal control a way to solve the crisis on the prevention end.
We’ve tried to include all low-income spay/ neuter programs and services that we could find in Oklahoma on this site. We hope to see more and more services in the future and new programs will be added as soon as we hear about them. If you know of a spay/ neuter service that is not on this map and that should be, please let us know!
