The FixYour.Pet campaign is a community initiative designed to reduce pet overpopulation through accessible and responsible spay and neuter services. By raising awareness and providing clear resources, the campaign aims to make it easier for pet owners to take proactive steps that benefit both their animals and the broader community.
Uncontrolled breeding is one of the leading contributors to the number of stray and shelter animals in Tuscaloosa and surrounding areas. When pets are not spayed or neutered, litters often end up in already crowded shelters or abandoned outdoors. This cycle places strain on animal control, rescue groups, and local shelters, while also increasing the risk of euthanasia for healthy, adoptable animals.
FixYour.Pet focuses on three main goals:
- Education – Providing accurate, accessible information about the benefits of spay/neuter, including improved pet health, reduced roaming, and prevention of unwanted litters.
- Access – Connecting pet owners with affordable veterinary resources and clinics that offer spay/neuter services.
- Community Engagement – Encouraging residents to get involved by sharing information, displaying campaign yard signs, and supporting local efforts to modernize animal welfare practices.
This campaign is part of a broader movement to prevent problems before they start. By increasing spay and neuter rates, we can help lower intake at shelters, reduce euthanasia rates, and create a healthier, more sustainable community for pets and people alike.
