February is “It’s Hip To Snip” month when we focus on spay/neuter to reduce the massive pet overpopulation crisis plaguing Oklahoma.

Low-cost spay and neuter

It’s “Hip to Snip” month, and Oklahoma Alliance for Animals and Alta Vista Animal Hospital are offering low-cost spay and neuter procedures for owned animals. Spay and neuter procedures are only $25 during this special promotion and the cost includes a rabies vaccination and a microchip with lifetime registration. Only 100 spots will be open initially. Additional spots may open later.

To reserve your spot 

Once you complete the form (one animal per form) and make your payment, a representative from Alta Vista Animal Hospital (Tulsa, OK) will contact you to schedule your pet’s procedure within 3-5 business days. Procedures will be scheduled during February.

You will not be contacted for an appointment unless payment is made at the time of reservation. After you click “submit,” you will be redirected to PayPal. You can pay via a PayPal account or with a credit/debit card.

Additional vaccines and services will be offered during the time of procedure and can be paid for through Alta Vista Animal Hospital. Discounts will be offered on these additional vaccines and services. Let Alta Vista know what additional services you are interested in when they call to schedule your pet’s appointment.

Please note that no refunds will be issued.

If you have a question about using this form, contact Oklahoma Alliance for Animals at (918) 742-3700. Do NOT contact Alta Vista about scheduling your pet’s procedure. You MUST reserve online and pay in advance. No walk-ins will be accepted.

Adopt, Never Shop

adoptalittleokieThe Oklahoma Alliance for Animals supports the amazing and dedicated work of rescues and shelters throughout Oklahoma – including their ongoing efforts to find loving, indoor homes for animals. Please check out our list of adoption events in your area.

The Adopt-A-Little Okie adoption event happens the last Saturday of each month at Tulsa Animal Welfare and the Broken Arrow Animal Shelter.

Please adopt animals from shelters and rescues. Never buy from a breeder – that only perpetuates the sad and expensive problem of creating homeless puppies and kittens. Be responsible and kind. Thanks!

Fix OK: Spay and neuter

FixOK FNL ColorOklahoma has a severe pet overpopulation crisis that costs state taxpayers literally millions of dollars every year in shelter euthanasia costs. Irresponsible pet owners and backyard breeders inundate the state with unwanted puppies and kittens – all because they didn’t spay and neuter their pets.

Rescues work very hard to find homes for these animals (including their moms!) but can never keep pace with numbers ranging in the tens of thousands every year.

Please be responsible and spay/neuter your pets. Prevention is much kinder than destruction. Plus altering pets can help keep them safe. They’re less likely to try to roam, less likely to become lost, and more.

For a list of spay/neuter clinics in your area, please follow our Fix OK program on Facebook. For more information also please check out our Fix OK page on this website.
