The SpayKind Spay-Neuter Clinic (Formerly The Solution Spay-Neuter Clinic)

The SpayKind Spay-Neuter Clinic is the culmination of a long-held dream of SpayKind (formerly Humane Solution). This clinic, owned and operated by SpayKind, represents a significant step forward in our mission to improve the lives of animals in Forsyth County. We are proud to partner with the Forsyth County Animal Shelter and county government to offer a unique spay-neuter program aimed at helping pets and their guardians access affordable surgeries. This collaboration allows us to spay and neuter adopted shelter pets, feral/community cats, provide affordable public surgeries, and reduce pet overpopulation by increasing access to affordable spaying and neutering.

We are dedicated to making a significant impact on pet overpopulation in our community. This clinic builds upon the 25-year legacy of SpayKind's successful voucher program, expanding access to affordable spaying and neutering.

The SpayKind Spay-Neuter Clinic has temporarily suspended operations. We are working diligently to resume surgeries and will reopen as soon as possible. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

Who We Are & What We Do

SpayKind (formerly Humane Solution) is an all-volunteer, 501(c)3 organization. We incorporated in 1999 because we saw an incredible need for a low-cost spay-neuter program for low income pet owners. We are governed by a volunteer board of directors, and have a host of dedicated volunteers that believe spay-neuter is the key to reducing pet overpopulation and the number of innocent lives that are euthanized at animal shelters.

SpayKind provides low-cost vouchers to pet owners with financial hardships. The vouchers can be used at several area veterinary hospitals (list of participating vets)We issue approximately 1,000 vouchers a year, which reduces the number of unwanted pets by the thousands annually. We reimburse the veterinary hospital a set fee above the cost that the pet owner pays for vouchers.

How We Do It

SpayKind relies solely on donations, grants, and fundraisers to make this low-cost spay-neuter program possible. Our main fundraisers are rabies/microchip clinics that are held at various locations 5 times a year, as well as our "Plates for Paws" held annually. Donations and grants help us "Spay it Forward" and offer other services, such as vaccine allowances and reduced or free vouchers for very low-income pet owners.

How You Can Help
  1. Donate to SpayKind in memory or honor of a special pet.
  2. Ask friends and family to make donations to us for special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, memorials, or holidays.
  3. Volunteer to help at our fundraisers. If you are interested in volunteering, click on the volunteer tab above and fill out an application.
