The Alabama Spay/Neuter Clinic, one of The Humane Alliance's high-volume clinics opening across the country, opened in the Birmingham area on June 3, 2008. Our goal is to stem the tide of unwanted and abandoned companion animals by offering low cost spay and neuter surgeries. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and will be working with rescues, shelters and pet owners. Appointments are required and can be made by calling 205-956-0012.

We are not a full-service veterinary clinic but animals brought in without proof of a current rabies certificate will be given a rabies vaccination, as required by Alabama law. There will be a charge for the rabies vaccination so please bring proof of the vaccination to avoid this charge.

We have assembled a wonderful, competent staff, each with many years experience. Our veterinarians and veterinarian technicians are licensed and accredited. In addition, they have received extensive training at The Humane Alliance training center in North Carolina. We will be handling many surgeries each day but will not sacrifice quality nor the proper care and attention that your dog or cat requires and deserves. While we are a high volume clinic, we treat each animal as if they were one of ours.

We are hoping to contact all rescue groups and shelters in the north/central Alabama area but we ask you to help spread the word to other organizations for we have not have been able to obtain contact information for everyone.

Our permanent facility is still under construction but we were anxious to get started and so have begun work in a temporary facility here on our lot while construction continues on our permanent one. Surgeries have started with two operating rooms but we will have four operating rooms once our building is completed. At that time we will be expanding our staff accordingly.

We are always in need of towels — any size or color as well as paper towels. Other items needed can be found on our wish list. We gratefully acknowledge and appreciate all donations.

If you have any questions about the clinic we will be happy to answer them. We look forward to hearing from you and meeting you in person. Together we will make a difference.
