Every year, thousands of dogs and cats enter our shelters, many as a result of unwanted or accidental litters. By sponsoring a spay or neuter surgery, you can help prevent litters before they happen and support a healthier, more humane future for pets and families in our communities. 💜

Friends of El Paso Animal Services works to expand access to spay/neuter services in our community, but we need your help! Your donation helps fund free spay/neuter surgeries, microchips, and age-appropriate vaccinations for community pets, directly reducing pet overpopulation and helping keep animals out of the shelter.

In 2025, we hosted our first-ever Spay-a-Thon in partnership with El Paso Animal Services, sponsoring a team of relief veterinary teams to come down to El Paso and spay or neuter community pets. During the three-day event, over 430 pets were spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, and we want to do it again this year.

Pet overpopulation is a very real concern in the borderland region, with unwanted or unexpected litters contributing to the over 27,000 pets entering our shelters every year. Spaying and neutering directly impacts the overpopulation in our community, and saves the lives of thousands of homeless pets every year.

If you're in need of spay/neuter services, we'll be announcing surgery registration soon! Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more information.
