PETA Gifts Southwest Virginia a Mobile Spay-and-Neuter Clinic That Will Help Animals for Years to Come

PETA has gifted Southwest Virginia with a mobile spay-and-neuter clinic that is there to stay, helping to tackle the animal homelessness crisis in the region. This is the region's first-ever permanent mobile clinic, providing affordable sterilization services directly to underserved communities. Since 2023, the partnership between PETA and the Twin County Humane Society has provided free sterilization surgeries for close to 1,000 animals in the area, helping to reduce overpopulation and improve animal welfare.

Spaying and neutering are critical in reducing companion animal homelessness and overpopulation. The clinic aims to provide year-round access to affordable spay-and-neuter surgeries to help shrink the number of homeless and unwanted animals. PETA has also provided essential care for dogs tethered outside, including upgraded doghouses, flea and tick medication, and new toys. Additionally, ten dogs have been given the opportunity for a fresh start in loving indoor homes, thanks to PETA's intervention and support.
