Quick Fix



Currently, Shelby Humane Society is overburdened by more than approximately 5,000 animals it receives annually. Not only will Quick Fix help prevent hundreds of unwanted litters brought to the shelter, it will also lower the incidence of stray and homeless pets roaming local roads and neighborhoods. Every pet owner should consider sterilization for their cats and dogs. According to the Humane Society of the United States, spaying and neutering helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives by eliminating or reducing the incidence of a number of expensive and difficult to treat health problems. Each transport will carry a maximum of twenty-nine pets, and participation is limited to the pets of individuals who pre-register.

Due to a new policy at Alabama Spay Neuter clinic, all animals will be administered Capstar to kill any fleas before proceeding with surgery (if a live flea gets into the surgery incision it can cause infection). If you have chosen a preferred location of Chelsea Walmart, Alabaster FoodWorld or Columbiana Piggly Wiggly, the cost of the flea treatment ($5) will be added to your total cost.

Quick Fix spay/neuter surgeries are provided by the veterinarians at our partner clinics

 

Quick Fix spay/neuter surgeries are provided by the veterinarians at Alabama Spay/Neuter, Central Alabama's only Low Cost Spay/Neuter clinic. Since early June 2008, the veterinarians at Alabama Spay/Neuter have provided over 5000 surgeries to Central Alabama pet owners! Occasionally, Quick Fix adds special or additional surgery days that may be scheduled at local Quick Fix Partner Clinics.

Quick Fix Partner Clinics will provide a complimentary follow-up visit to all Quick Fix surgery participants. It is recommended that the animal see a vet for a follow-up visit within 7 to 10 days of surgery to ensure that everything is healing properly. Participants will receive a certificate at the time of pick-up that will give them the information to schedule their follow-up visit. The certificate must be brought to the vet’s office at the time of the appointment. The following clinics are Quick Fix Partner Clinics:
