UPDATE: A free spay/neuter clinic is now open for pets in Austin and Travis County, running from November 13 through November 17, 2025. This urgent initiative, launched by Austin Animal Services in partnership with Greater Good Charities, aims to alleviate the financial burden on pet owners struggling with costly vet bills.
The clinic offers not only spay and neuter services but also free vaccinations, microchips, and flea/tick prevention treatments. As Rolando Fernandez, Interim Director of Animal Services, stated, “We’re committed to making sure every pet owner—no matter their income or neighborhood—has access to the services that keep pets healthy and communities safe.”
This initiative addresses the critical issue of animal overpopulation, which has resulted in an increase in stray animals and unintended litters. This clinic marks the sixth event of its kind in the past year, aiming to reduce the number of homeless pets. To date, over 5,000 pets have benefited from previous clinics, with another 1,200 animals set to receive services during this week-long event.
Pet owners are urged to arrive early at the clinic’s location at 11580 Stonehollow Dr., Suite 160, Austin, TX 78758. Services will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis, with registration starting at 6:00 am and ending by 10:00 am daily, or until capacity is reached.
The ongoing efforts reflect a commitment to responsible pet ownership and community safety, with another event already planned for early 2026. While the clinic is expected to draw significant crowds, the focus remains on improving the lives of pets and their owners.
This community-driven initiative highlights the importance of accessible veterinary care, affirming every animal’s right to a healthy life. As Austin continues to take progressive stances on various humanitarian issues, this clinic reaffirms the city’s dedication to the welfare of all its residents—human and animal alike.
With the demand for such services rising, this clinic serves as a vital resource for the Austin community. Spread the word and ensure that your fellow pet owners do not miss this opportunity to support their furry friends’ health and safety!
