We Need Sites to Host Spay and Neuter Clinics

Minnesota Spay Neuter Assistance Program (MNSNAP) is a non-profit 501(c)3 animal welfare group seeking businesses and organizations all over Minnesota that would be willing to host a spay/neuter clinic in their parking lot as a service to the community.

MNSNAP provides low-cost spay and neuter surgeries to all Minnesota 501(c)3 non-profit rescue groups, animal shelters and income qualified pet owners. We operate out of a 33 foot mobile surgical unit. We have contracted Blue Sky Veterinary Services, LLC to exclusively perform all veterinary duties offered by MNSNAP. Blue Sky and MNSNAP are fully insured and have all applicable licenses to provide these services.

Our mobile surgical unit travels to a pre-scheduled destination for the day. Our staff admits each animal, collects fees, and performs pre-operative physical exams. During the day, all the patients will be cared for by MN SNAP’s highly-qualified, licensed veterinarian and her team of experienced and caring veterinary technicians; patients will be anesthetized and surgically sterilized using the most current anesthesia medications, equipment and surgical techniques. All animals are discharged to their owners/caretakers or back to their rescues or shelters the same day.

The only requirements for hosting a spay/neuter clinic at your site are: 

• a place to park our 33 foot mobile unit

• the ability have pet owners or rescue fosters park and drop off their animals in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon

If your business or organization would be willing to host a clinic please contact our Office Manager, Christie Daluge, by email at office.mnsnap.org or call her at 612-720-8236.

Some host sites have opted to also hold a supply/donation drive for MNSNAP during the day of the event or in the days or weeks leading up to it. While this is an option, it is not required. We also have have several sponsorship programs available. If you are interested in getting involved at this level please contact our Marketing Director, Jennifer Allen, by email at jennifer@mnsnap.org or call her at 612-720-8593.

You may also visit the HOW YOU CAN HELP page at MNSNAP.ORG to learn more about sponsorship, branding and other marketing opportunities.

All of us at MNSNAP would love to work with you to help make Minnesota a better place for our companion animals and the people who love them. Please join us in our mission to end the suffering and death of homeless animals due to pet overpopulation. You can make a difference by helping us to provide high-quality, affordable, and accessible spay and neuter services to MN shelters, rescue organizations, and the low-income community.

We look forward to hearing from you soon!

MN SNAP will be on the road in April!

We are very excited to announce that we are on schedule! Our 33 foot mobile spay/neuter surgical unit will be built by the end of March. MN SNAP will be on the road and fully operational in April. We will be spaying and neutering a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 40 animals each day at any given site.

We are frantically setting up our schedule for April. We have hundreds of animals on a waiting list. We are going to concentrate on areas where we have a full days worth of animals that have been waiting for the first few weeks. We will be traveling all over the state in the following weeks. Anyone who has has already registered will be contacted shortly and put on our schedule.

Please let us know if you would like to host a spay/neuter day at your business, church, school, shelter or other safe, accessible place that can accommodate a 33 foot vehicle and parking for people when they drop off and pick up their pets. We really need to have locations all over the state that we call on when we have animals waiting in the area.
