Spay / Nueter Program
Since 2019, we have provided over 7,628 spay/neuter vouchers, making affordable veterinary care accessible to families of all income levels. By reducing financial barriers, we’re helping to prevent unwanted litters and support responsible pet ownership in our community!
In 2024 we worked with another group on a mass spay/neuter day for the public and altered over 80 animals at no charge.

Compassionate Farewell Program
In 2024, HSO introduced this compassionate program to help families in need say goodbye to their pets with dignity and peace. So far, we have covered the cost for over 40 families.
Street Vet Program for the Unhoused Community
This program was initially launched in 2022 as an annual event. After hosting it twice in 2022 and 2023, we recognized the overwhelming need and expanded it to a monthly initiative. Since then, we have provided over 1,500 services—including vaccines, medical care, and preventatives—while also assisting with over 100 free spay/neuters.
Community Cat TNR
HSO covers the cost for cats to be spayed/neutered, ear-tipped, and vaccinated for rabies through the Washington County Animal Shelter. Since 2023, we have funded the alteration of 206 cats.
