At Mississippi Spay and Neuter (MS-SPAN), we know that the only way to end pet overpopulation is through prevention. Spay and neuter is a simple and safe way to stop unplanned litters of puppies and kittens, that's what prompted the start of The Big Fix Clinic.

Since beginning as the BIg Fix Rig in 2008, The Big Fix Clinic has surmounted into a 10,000 sq. ft. building. Throughout it's 15 years in operation over 100,000 cats and dogs have been spayed/neutered by the Big Fix Clinic.

We have always provided spay and neuter surgeries to any pet owner who walks through our doors, regardless of their ability to pay.

Mississippi is the poorest state in the nation and countless families struggle just to meet their basic human needs. Unfortunately, many families do not have the resources to have their cats and dogs sterilized, even though they love them dearly. This often leads to unplanned litters of puppies and kittens and the heart-wrenching choice to surrender them to a shelter.

The increase in the number of sterilized dogs and cats in our area has resulted in a dramatic reduction in the number of homeless animals entering Mississippi Animal Rescue League (MARL), the largest shelter in our state. Since we first arrived on the scene, MARL has experienced a 40% decrease in their annual animal intake - down to less than 10,000 from 17,000! But we do not want it to stop there.

With your support, we can ensure that every animal born in Mississippi has a place to call home, with loving people to call family.

Thank you! We cannot wait to see what the next 15 years will bring.
