Mission

Who We Are:

The Spay Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated solely to offering low-cost spaying and neutering for dogs and cats, as well as promoting humane education to pet owners and the community.

SNAP has no paid employees or staff. Management of the spay/neuter programs, fundraising and administrative functions are all performed by volunteers.

The Mission of SNAP is to:

Prevent the suffering and abuse of cats and dogs resulting from over population...

• eliminate pet overpopulation as a cause of cats and dogs being killed, abused and neglected
• treat all cats and dogs equally no matter if they are companion animals, strays or ferals, and
• provide compassionate and caring spaying and neutering to all cats and dogs.

What We Do:

High volume spaying and neutering is the only way to end pet overpopulation. 100% of our resources and efforts are put to this one purpose.

Through our network of participating veterinarians, we offer year-round, reduced-fee spay/neuter surgeries for both cats and dogs in need.

In addition, SNAP sponsors the Spay/Neuter Express, a reduced-fee mobile spay/neuter service for owned and feral cats, along with co-sponsors PAWS and HOKAFI. Surgery is offered for our Express Program by Keystone Mobile Veterinary Services.

Our Partners:

Our community services are made possible by the local veterinarians who participate in our spay/neuter programs. Without their support, SNAP would not be able to make such a tremendous difference in the companion animal world. Thank you from SNAP and the animals.

Our History:

Spay Neuter Assistance Program was founded in 1981 as Central Pennsylvania Spay/Neuter Fund, Inc. Several years later the name was shortened to Spay/Neuter Fund, Inc. In conjunction with the 20th anniversary of the organization, the Board decided to change the name once again to something that would better reflect what we do....hence Spay Neuter Assistance Program, Inc. (SNAP)

The number of dogs/cats that were spayed/neutered through Central Pennsylvania Spay/Neuter Fund during the organization's first year in operation totaled 306. 24 years later over 40,000 surgeries have been performed through our organization.

Over 40,000 cats and dogs have been spayed or neutered since we were founded in1981 thanks to SNAP's programs. For each animal spayed or neutered, that pet has the opportunity to live a healthier, longer life. For every cat or dog not able to reproduce, potentially one or more homeless animals will be able to leave a shelter alive.
