About Us

“No other disease or condition of companion animals takes as many lives as euthanasia. In fact, no other disease comes close.”
Janet M. Scarlett, DVM, MPH, PhD, Cornell University

Adoption alone is not the answer to pet overpopulation. Spay and neuter of the pets of low income families and free-roaming/feral cats results in fewer animals being born and fewer animals entering local animal shelters. The end result is fewer animals losing their lives due to homelessness.

Since its founding in late 2001 Peninsula Spay/Neuter Project has facilitated over 10,000 spays and neuters of pet cats and dogs, as well as feral and free-roaming cats. This has been done with a volunteer staff.

PSNP was the first organization in the Puget Sound region to focus on pit bull overpopulation. Over 300 dogs have been sterilized free of charge in the past 18 months.

PSNP was the first organization in Pierce County to focus on the overpopulation of feral and free-roaming cats. Over 5,200 cats have been sterilized via trap/neuter/return since 2001.

In early 2008, PSNP will open the first low cost, high volume, high quality spay/neuter clinic in the Puget Sound Region. With this clinic, and continued public support, we will be able to provide over 6,000 low cost spay and neuter surgeries to further address the needs of our community!
