Low-cost spay and neuter clinics in 2010

Second Chance for Pets will be transporting dogs and cats to the Animal Protective League in Springfield, Illinois for low-cost spay and neuter clinics in 2010. If you have a pet that you would like to have spayed or neutered for a very low cost (free for pit bulls and pit bull mixes/$50 for other breeds), please call us at 217-935-3488 at least 24 hours in advance to get on the transport.

Pets will be transported to Springfield from Clinton with Second Chance volunteers, and they will be ready to pick up the following day.

Low-cost vaccinations will also be available at the Animal Protective League. Please call us at 217-935-3488 for more information and to schedule your transport.

Spaces are limited on these transports! Don't wait until it's too late to spay or neuter your pet. Help stop pet overpopulation!

Ongoing event: Free spay/neutering for pit bulls!

The Animal Protection League of Springfield offers FREE spay and neuters to pit bulls and pit bull mixes while funds are available. (When funds are not available spay/neuter is very inexpensive.) Call 217-544-7387 and choose option 2 to schedule an appointment.

Why does the APLS offer free spay and neuters to pit bulls and pit bull mixes? The sheer number of them that are killed in shelters all across the country every single day is astonishing.

Pit bulls are euthanized more than any other breed - only 1 in 600 pit bulls that enters an animal shelter will leave alive. Please have your pit bull or pit bull mix spayed or neutered today. By not breeding your pet pit bull or pit bull mix, you will be doing your part to help control the pit bull overpopulation problem and help keep pit bulls and mixes out of shelters and out of the hands of people who want to do harm to them.

Pit bull puppies like the ones in this beautiful litter are winding up in shelters all across the country because they are being bred faster than they can be sold. The pit bull overpopulation problem is an epidemic right now.
