About
Our Story
In 2011, a group of passionate women, struggling with the number of animals destroyed through euthanasia in their local animal shelter, joined the grassroots movement sweeping across the country to end kill shelters. Together with the support of their local community, generous supporters, and passionate animal advocates, they founded the volunteer-driven, non-profit animal advocacy organization that is known today as The Spay Neuter Project. Dedicating the time and energy previously given to organizations that participated in an outdated practice, to the only proven solution to pet overpopulation in animal shelters and rescues...SPAY & NEUTERING!
The impact of these efforts has been felt by communities throughout Missouri and is only possible through the generosity of compassionate animal advocates like you. Please consider supporting our mission by donating today!

Our Mission
The mission of Spay Neuter Project, under the umbrella of No Kill Columbia, seeks to end kill shelters, pet overpopulation, and the rampant spread of diseases through providing affordable access to high-quality spay and neuter surgery, and life-saving vaccinations for the most vulnerable companion animal populations and the communities in which they reside.
Our Impact
A single female dog and her offspring are capable of producing 67,000 puppies in just 6 years. An unaltered cat could be responsible for a whopping 370,000 kittens in just 7. With more than 33,000 surgeries performed at Spay Neuter Project since opening in 2015, the number of unwanted animals saved from a life of suffering, malnutrition, disease, abuse, and euthanasia in kill shelters is nearly incalculable, and entirely unimaginable.
​​
Not only has Spay Neuter Project had an incredible impact on the number of animals born into tragic situations. Through the support of, and in collaboration with, generous private donors, grants, and charitable corporations, nearly half a million dollars in financial assistance and support has been awarded to qualified clients experiencing financial need. Through our in-house Spay-It-Forward fund access to basic, quality care is available to everyone.
​
As a mentorship clinic of the prestigious ASPCA Spay/Neuter Alliance, SNP is dedicated to ending kill shelters and the needless suffering of animals through education, advocacy, and action! Dedicated to changing the narrative, Spay Neuter Project is the exception to the rule with up-front and transparent pricing that actually is too good to be true and high-quality, compassionate care, you don't just get what you pay for, you get much more. ​​​
​
Spay Neuter Project provides high-quality, affordable spay-neuter surgery, and core wellness services, SNP has been serving our local community and beyond for over 10 years. Our partnerships with shelters, stray rescue organizations, TNR Groups, and other animal advocacy and nonprofit organizations also helps them maximize the impact of their own limited financial resources. This means the impact of every donated dollar in support of vulnerable and high-risk animals throughout our community and beyond, is stretched for maximum impact!
