The P.E.T.S. Clinic in Wichita Falls has achieved a major milestone, announcing that they have now spayed or neutered over 100,000 dogs and cats. This accomplishment is a significant step in the fight against pet overpopulation and unnecessary euthanasia in local shelters.
A Milestone That Saves Lives
According to P.E.T.S. Clinic, their work is making a real difference in reducing the number of homeless pets and preventing overcrowding in shelters.
“Hitting 100,000 spay and neuter surgeries is a testament to the dedication of our team, the support of our community, and the love pet owners have for their animals. But our work isn’t done. We encourage every pet owner in Wichita Falls to spay and neuter their pets—whether at P.E.T.S. Clinic or with a local veterinarian. Together, we can reduce overpopulation and keep pets out of shelters.”
— Amber Gilmore, CEO of P.E.T.S. Clinic
This achievement is more than just a number—it represents thousands of animals saved from unnecessary euthanasia and improves the overall well-being of pets in the Wichita Falls area.
Why Spaying & Neutering Matters
- Reduces Pet Overpopulation: Helps control the number of stray and unwanted animals.
- Prevents Unnecessary Euthanasia: In 2023 alone, over 1,600 pets were euthanized in Wichita Falls due to overcrowding.
- Health Benefits for Pets: Spaying/neutering can help prevent certain cancers and infections, leading to longer, healthier lives.
- Better Behavior: Can reduce aggression, roaming, and other unwanted behaviors in pets.
“This milestone isn’t just about numbers—it’s about lives saved.”
— Anibal Guevara, Executive Director, P.E.T.S. Clinic Wichita Falls
A Call to Action: Keep the Momentum Going
While reaching 100,000 spay/neuter surgeries is a huge accomplishment, there’s still more work to do. P.E.T.S. Clinic encourages all pet owners to take responsibility and ensure their pets are spayed or neutered—either at their clinic or with a local veterinarian.
By working together, the Wichita Falls community can continue reducing pet overpopulation and give more animals a chance at a loving home.
