On Thursday, May 4, Lola, a sweet black and white female dog, became the recipient of SSNA’s 100,000th spay/neuter surgery. She was one of 38 patients who received spay or neuter surgeries that day, which will further reduce the incidence of unplanned pregnancies across Sumner County.
“It is such an honor to be performing our 100,000th surgery today,” says clinic veterinarian Dr. Lauren Rexing . “Many people at SSNA have worked so hard to get us to this point. I am excited that we have come this far, and I look forward to continuing our efforts in the future.”
Thanks to strong financial management and a loyal donor base, SSNA remains able to perform surgeries at a much lower price point than private veterinary practices. Neuter surgeries for male animals are $40 for cats and $55 for dogs. Spay surgeries for female animals are more involved, and cost $50 for cats and $65 for dogs. All prices include the surgical procedures, post-op pain medications, overnight stay and observation and a free rabies vaccination.
